Evan William Fife
« on: Wednesday 13 May 15 20:59 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find information relating to Evan William Fife born 1871 Inverness Scotland who MAY have emigrated to South Africa. I have viewed several passenger lists on Ancestry which have him travelling to South Africa. I have had no luck finding marriage or death records in the UK. On all information I have his occupation is Bank Clerk.
I would be grateful for any help. Thank you

If you were to apply for the file you should find a death notice listing occupation, place of residence, cause of death, assets if any and children's names.
