Hello,

Vena was born on 30th November 1904, in South Africa. She married Philip Sands CHAPMAN on 21.12.1929 in Johannesburg. He died in Durban on 18.8.1955.

Wow! Tree Spirit that is a very good find. Thank you.   

[Don't suppose you can identify the cemetery? Or are those details obvious and I have missed them?]


Minniehaha.

Yes it is very obvious ... LOL

Between the top of the page and the photo,  it says that it is the Crematorium & Wall of Remembrance  in the Stellawood Cemetery and Crematorium (Durban, Kwazulu-Natal).
(i.e. Vena was probably cremated)

Hi Tree Spirit.....

Yes I had noticed this at the top of the page:

Kwazulu-Natal, DURBAN, Urban area Kwazulu-Natal, DURBAN, Stellawood, Cemetery and Crematorium 04. Crematorium & Wall of Remembrance

But not being familiar with the names it looked somewhat confusing to me at the time. 

And thank you pampoen for Philip Chapman's estate information. Much appreciated....
