Look up request - Death
« on: Saturday 06 February 21 01:22 GMT (UK) »
Looking for death and or burial for Caroline Amelia Howe
I have her in 1901 census in Hertfordshire aged 40 (born 1861 Kent, England) but no clues after that.   A friend has told me there is a death record - Cape Province, South Africa, Estates Death Notice Index 1834-1956 for Caroline Howe.  Caroline's parents are James Duppa Howe and Caroline (nee Bigg) - she was born Q2 1861 and she has a twin brother Frank..........

There is no image for that entry
But date given is 1901.

So seems unlikely to be yours if she is in UK at 1901 census.

I cannot see a certain matching death record in South Africa, Cape Province, Civil Records, 1840-1972  at Family Search

Would a death in South Africa seem likely.....other family in South Africa?

Her birth location varies in different census records, some say Tower Hill, London, others say Minster, Kent.   The Howe family often have records in both London and Kent
Thanks for looking and spending time to reply, it was a bit of a wild card but worth a look. There are definitely Howe in South Africa, thanks again .......... A

I have been unable to trace a death or an estate file for Caroline.  There is one for a Caroline Johanna. There is also no tombstone that has been photographed for her.
