Title: Death in Valparaiso, Chile
Post by: greenrig on Monday 01 November 21 10:29 GMT (UK)

Please, if anyone is familiar with Chilean records, can I ask for some help?

I have a relative, Walter Archibald NEILSON (b. Glasgow 14th Oct 1867) who is recorded on a Glasgow memorial as having died in Valparaiso, Chile on 12th June 1907.  I would like to locate the death and/or burial record please.   I am totally unfamiliar with Chilean records, or Spanish language, but I believe I have found his marriage in FamilySearch - to Elena Griffiths Lyons, on 31st Dec 1897 in  Talca, Chile.  There may be some children also of that marriage, who did not survive.

But I cannot find any record of his death.....   Thanks in advance.

Thank you both for this very helpful information.  I either missed this record set, or it has come online since I last looked.
