I'm asking for a 'cousin' who is looking for information on their relative Mary Ann Hutton.
Looking to make contact with the relatives or descendants of William John Sholl of Plymouth England and Mary Ann Hutton of Troon Scotland who married in Johannesburg 27th February 1904.
William is known to have died from cancer in Cape Town in 1933 aged 50 years.
Any help or direction would be much appreciated.

Here is his civil death Notice - which indicates that he lived in Rhodesia!

Cant see a Death Notice in the Zimbabwe resources for him

Many thanks for this. Indicates that his wife Mary still alive at the time of William’s death. Thank you for looking.

Could this be your Mary Ann Hutton http://www.graves-at-eggsa.org/main.php?g2_itemId=1804774 died 1934 aged 64?

Many thanks for this. I’ll pass it along.

I would think that gravestone is unlikely to be her as it's in her maiden name! Also there is this record on NAAIRS that indicates the tombstone belongs to Mary-Ann Nicoll
MSCE 0 21507/1934 HUTTON, MARY ANN. (BORN NICOLL). 1934 1935
And looking through another as yet unindexed zimbabwe collection (we are waiting for the indexes to be published) here is her Death Notice in 1958

From this it would appear they had 1 daughter who was resident in Rhodesia at the time of her death
and having looked again for him here is his estate DN which confirms the daughter
