Hello Anne When searching NAAIRS for an estate paper for someone that died in 1920 remember that the estate or death notice might not have been lodged in that year. Sometimes it can take up to twenty years or longer to appear. Also not every person has an estate or death notice, maybe this is why you have not found it. Another reason could be that NAAIRS is not 100% accurate - there is always a degree or error and a manual search in the Pretoria archives might be necessary. Have you ordered his actual death certificate to see if you date is correct ? kind regards Heather Heather's South African Genealogy Help List www.genealogy.co.za Cape Town Family History Society www.genealogy.co.za/society/socweb.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anne wellman" <wellman@shoal.net.au> To: <SOUTH-AFRICA-CAPE-TOWN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 19, 2004 11:54 AM Subject: [South-Africa-Cape-Town] Re: SOUTH-AFRICA-CAPE-TOWN-D Digest V04 #56 > I am still looking for my G.grandfather William Henry FIELD born 1867 Died > 12.9.1920 in Germiston.
