you might, and I say "might", find something at this reference ................. you have to browse all the images. There is NO index!


It is the familysearch site ........ and therefore free.

If this is him, it means he was still alive in 1933, and intending to return to "a country in the British Empire"


so it looks as though he might have remained in South Africa. You may have to look there for his death, and possibly his marriage
