pampeon thank you again very much for your help and of course Derek Austin !
1951 would fit , but I have been reading about Morning Rise and what I have read is ,there are 3 parts to it ...
1.Memorial wall
2.Military section
3.Jewish graves
4. SISTERS of the Holy Family
David was not military and both I am 99% sure were protestant , I just find it strange that they are buried there !
I also found this : The "E Section" refers to a section within the Mountain Rise Cemetery in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, where cremations are performed !
anyway onward and upward thank you again for your help :-)
regards

my great aunt Nellie Wilkie also known as Helen (Ellen ) McCrory also all variations of McCroary/McCroarie !
she was born in Ayrshire Scotland on 21.4.1879, she went to South Africa in 1900!
she married Allan David Wilkie in Durban on 24.4.1992 but a duplicate of the marriage certificate was given in Pietermaritzburg on 23.5.1905 !
she died in Greys Hospital , Pietermaritzburg on January 18 1951.
her name on the death record is Nellie Wilkie nee McRory, it also says she was buried in the Mountain Rise Cemetery, Pietermaritzburg !
I have looked at the online Mountain Rise website but cant find her grave !
any help would be appreciated !

Other Countries / John Cunningham Galloway -death in China 1930
« on: Tuesday 09 September 25 15:59 BST (UK)  »
I have discovered a distant relative of mine died in Chin Wangtoo ,North China, Aug 29 1930, aged 50 .
his name was John Cunningham Galloway and he was born in Liverpool England in 1880 !
I have a copy of his probate from "England & Wales, Index of Wills and Probates, 1853-1943 - John Cunningham Galloway" which states his widow is Mary Jame Galloway !
according to a census from 1901 he was a draughtsman !
I have so far not found if he had any children or not !
I find it strange that he die in China , is there anyway I could find out why he was there and maybe how he died ?
any help would be appreciated !
regards
