Here is an article from TROVE on the death of Henry, 11.5.1881 Sydney Herald:-

"Mr. Henry Cowie, manager of the Commercial Marine Insurance Company, was seized with an apoplectic fit at the directors' meeting to-day, and died shortly afterwards".

also ...............Henry's wife Ruth died 1882 in Crakehill, Yorkshire UK - also on TROVE.

Hello Sashar,

Thank you very much.

I'll get the articles from TROVE.

This is where I got the details of the other two children:

arr: 1853 GOMELZA
0cc: Insurance Company Director

The family arrived in 1853. Perhaps not born in SA then.

Hope I've done that right

Otherwise, SA Register, 12.5.1881

[gibbo]

Yes you did it right :biggrin: The link worked fine.

So if the births we found in the papers are the right ones i wonder why they are showing up in the reg.

 

[DaveHam9]

Perhaps it was not easy registering births in SA. I know I have others that can't be found.
