The death notice for Catherine is a great find! Can you translate what it says?

Translation on its way.

This is the death notice of James in a local paper.

Thanks so much for the translation!

So she must have been living in London and potentially died while visiting her cousins in Elsene.

I have search the census for UK but can't find any trace of her but she did have living step daughters from James's first marriage living in London until 1895 when the last one died.

I think I have found the death for Jacques Camille Albert in Devon in the 1920s. I have ordered the certificate to check.

Elsene is the Flemish term for Ixelles, a commune within Brussels, where I was born.
