Death Notice of James Tindal, died Graaff-Reinet, South Africa, 4th May 1838

[Axonais]

According to The Asiatic Journal and Monthly Register for British and Foreign India, China, and Australasia, vol. XXVII - New Series, September-December, 1838 (London: Wm.H. Allen and Co., 1838), p. 325, James Tindal, son of His Excellency the late lieutenant general Ralph Dundas (baron) Tindal, died at Graaff-Reinet, Cape Colony, South-Africa, on 4th May 1838, aged about 43.

I am in search of a copy of the death notice (in Afrikaans "Sterftekennis") drawn up after the death of James Tindal in Graaff-Reinet. Could anyone be of help to inform me on how to find out whether a death notice has been drawn up and if so, to instruct how to get copies?

James Tindal, who was a Dutchman and a son of the Dutch general Baron Ralph Dundas Tindal (1773-1834), came to South Africa from Java after May 1829.

Is there any possibility to find out when and on board of what ship James came to the Cape?

Any help to find answers on these questions would be great. Many thanks in advance.

Hi
Unless  he left an estate there wont be a death notice in the archive - and as there is nothing in the index for a death notice you may not find one.
Bad news on shipping - there are very few records available so again you are probably unlikely to be able to find the information
