    1. [EDB] Obituary sought for HALCRO death 1948
    2. Meg Greenwood
    3. Can someone offer me advice on finding an obituary for a family member who died in 1948 ? James HALCRO died in Edinburgh on July 13, 1948. Was astounded to see he was single, so there are no descendants for me to locate and ask about him. This was the last family member for me to find of a family of 10 from Orkney, Scotland. Edinburgh is large, would someone be more likely to be buried in a cemetery near their home? I have no clue as to where he was buried. Certainly he was involved in some kind of community or church activity. He was a 'general labourer', so that won't help with any sort of professional group. He died at 15 Tippertinin Road, aged 79. The witness was Jenny L EBINDLE, listed as Occupier. Can someone clarify that term ? There were no other family members in Edinburgh, I have not found any one now living that even knew of his existence, including a great-nephew in Edinburgh, born a few years before his death. Might there be hospital records, the death certificate shows Cardiac failure 6 months ? Is there someone on this List that perhaps knows what is/was at this address ? Any assistance gratefully received - Meg Greenwood / Oklahoma, USA
