Dear Jean Thank for the reply. Here's the problem, though: there's no choice for either Masvingo or Fort Victoria. Here is the list of districts. It may be that they didn't film the Notices in question.

Russell Jean is correct in that Victoria is Fort Victoria for these purposes. I had a look at a few of the death notices there and the area is correct as Fort Victoria cheers Pete On 5 April 2011 05:51, Russell <rpcdoc@shaw.ca> wrote: > Dear Jean > > Thank for the reply.

The nearest is Victoria...cant be Victoria Falls, so Victoria probably applies. It was often listed as that - it was a Fort during the wars (old ones) so worth a try ?.
