Fred HAWLEY,b1910 UK, died South Africa?
My Uncle Fred went to South Africa about 1955 and has not been heard of since. By now he would be over 80 years old, so the probability is that he has died. What records are kept in South Africa, is it like the UK, is there an equivalent to St Caths index, does anybody have access to the BMD?
If anybody with local knowledge or access can give advice it would be appreciated.
Below is all I know aboutmy Uncle Fred.
