I wouldn't expect the Savill indexers to read the death notices when indexing the funeral notices.

SLSA couldn't find a death notice for May.

Maggs I think your home was built post 1911.  When did Mary CARRIG/G purchase the home?

Hi Cando,

Mary Joseph Carrigg purchased the property from an Edmund Maurice Kennedy in 1921, but I have a certificate of title dated 1914, where it appears that Edmund sold a portion of the land to a Margaret Germain.  I find these old documents fascinating, but also not easy to understand.  A basic question - I expected there to be somewhere a description of the actual dwelling - inasmuch as I really don't know when the house was built... the Titles only give details of the land??

I have also found a Title of a property which Mary Joseph bought in Blinman in 1911 - and it shows the original details of owner in 1891... I found the introductory wording amazing... It reads "Know all men by these presents that I the Right Honourable Algernon Hawkins Thomond Earl of Kintore, Lord Falconer of Dalkerton Lord Keith of Inverurie a Member of her Majestys Most Honourable Privy Council, Knight Grand Cross of the most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George, Governor and Commander in Chief in and over the Province of South Australia....."    What pomp and ceremony!!  By the time I get through all the introduction, my brain sort of closes down on the technicalities of the actual property!!

May I ask why you think that?  That was his title as he was Governor of South Australia.

Algernon Hawkins Thomond Keith-Falconer, 9th Earl of Kintore (1852–1930) was governor of South Australia from 1889 to 1895. Edinburgh-born and Eton and Cambridge-educated, he succeeded his father as Earl of Kintore in 1880 and held positions at court and in the House of Lords before being appointed to the South Australian post. Kintore is said to have been the first South Australian governor to travel extensively in the colony, and among the various journeys he made was a trip from Darwin to Adelaide following the route of the overland telegraph line in 1891. On returning to England in 1895, he resumed his post of lord-in-waiting to Queen Victoria and served in the same role under Edward VII until 1905. He was deputy-speaker of the House of Lords from 1913.

According to this database there is no headstone.  I think I would have checked when doing the research for Magsbill
