Title: Electoral Roll, York, W.A.
Post by: Lindyloowho on Sunday 19 February 23 23:55 GMT (UK)

Could I ask for a lookup for John Ward in York, W.A. He died in Claremont in 1927, but an announcement in the newspaper re his estate states he was formerly of York.

Not sure if this is enough information for a lookup?

Thanks, Linda

Thank you both! Love the newspaper ad😁
W.A. Archives couldn’t find him in any records for the home in Claremont, but did state they were not complete.
All this has helped me get a picture of his later life.
