DEATHS
MILES, Vere Perth.-August 19, 1970, R.G.H. Concord, late of 138 Sutherland St, Mascot, dearly beloved husband of Myrtle (Kay), loved son of Margaret and the late William Miles.

Don't know the middle names yet. Also don't know if Margaret might have remarried.

No William S in Ryerson.

Looking for their deaths.

Thanks Val.

I noticed the NOK and the late marriage and wondered if it was Vere's second but so far have found nothing on Leah.

I'll be the the Mitchell Library tomorrow viewing films of parish registers.
