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.

Interment in April 1908 ( possibly moved to a family grave?)

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

Hello!

Walter was my ancestor and I have some information that might be of interest.  My father died recently and I have just taken receipt of numerous family documents, including documents from Walter’s sister Cecilia (who was my great grand-mother).

Let me know if you have any questions I can help with.

This sounds marvellous.
I'll send you a personal message so that we can continue this discussion.

New members must make at least three postings before being allowed to use the PM facility.

Please note: If you are sending PMs to new members who have less than three posts you will receive an error message, that your limit, or allowed number has been reached. (note that it says your limit, although it actually refers to the recipient.)

So they need to add a couple of posts here like ‘Thanks’ and ‘Thanks again’ or something more imaginative.
