Colin Rea Campbell. Death information, please.
« on: Saturday 04 September 21 15:21 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to find the death of a half 1st cousin once removed .

Colin Rea Campbell b. 3 April 1902 Maraisburg to Charles W R Campbell and Ediith Louise nee Richards. I have full information for the family.
Colin served an apprenticeship as an engineer in England crca 1921-26.
Married Muriel Neal, Chelsea, 1926. A daughter (C. R.)   b. 26 June 1928,Lincolnshire 
The family returned to SA in 1929-30.
Muriel dies 5 May 1941, Germiston.
Married Una Kathleen Brereton (nee Corder) 31 July 1943 in Johannesburg.
Una dies 6 October 1960, Pietermaritzburg. The death entry records her as married not widowed or divorced.

I've not found Colin after this. There was a possible for his death in Australia but it wasn't him.

I would also be interesting in finding anything about his daughter but, as she might be still alive (b. 1928), I'm reluctant to name her.

I would be grateful for any information about his death and about his daughter after 1941.

Many thanks

Thanks for looking, Maggsie.

I'm not really too knowledgeable on SA records. I've hammered Familysearch which has produced most of the info I have for them. Also, the shipping lists have produced info about their travels.

That looks promising, Dave. Thank you very much.

I'm not sure what it all means though. I assume that he died in 1968. 

Could you interpret, please? *

* have now found the interpretations :)

e.g LEER = File in Afrikaans  ;D

I've now found a later document referencing Una Kathleen (Ref: 2908/1960, 1960-1969), similar to the one you have listed, which states that Colin was 'later deceased'

Thank you ever so much for this.

Could you give me the sources, please, as I can't find anything in the archives?

I've found a brief free death listing for Cora Rae Kruger on the Identity Number site (pay site).

Is there a site that would give further information - e.g. her marriage, any children, etc.
