Hello has anyone come across this site?
I've seen an entry for a Luther William Warham 1932 and a spouse for Annie Alice but i can't seem to see what the entry is for.

Thanks

They are death notices which can often be found on the National Archives site. This is the entry it refers to. They charge a fee to send them to you.

The images that go with this estate file can be found here, just click through the images. His Death Notice is there and a simple will....

Thank you so much.
i found the wife's estate on family search but nothing came up for him!
Sometimes i think you can go blind from looking!

I always try NAAIRS first, then see if the image is on Family Search

The site takes some getting used to but if there was an estate there is usually a Death Notice.  Choose the RSA option, it searches all the provinces and a lot of them are on line on Family Search.  The links for those have been posted or post the NAAIRS result and someone will surely find the file for you if it is available

Thank you again, i'm a little confused (not unusual!) did he die in SA or NZ?

[3sillydogs]

According to the Death Notice he died in a Chronic Sick Home at Rietfontein, Germiston.  So he died here in South Africa.....

[CuriousKat]

Thank you again for this amazing help. 

[3sillydogs]

You're welcome. 

South African research can be very frustrating and takes some getting used to .....
