Could anyone help with finding a marriage and death for George Henry Usmar. O.B.E. Believe he may have married Elizabeth Coleman in South Africa, and possibly died in Johannesburg S.A. Born 1878 Bengal, India . Parents George A Usmar and Elizabeth J Robbins Not sure if he had any children ,but his medals were sold in 2006. He did have siblings.

Available Indexes

Indexes for these notices are available in paper form at the Family History Library; see the catalog entry here.

The South African National Archives have also indexed these records online. To search the death notices, visit the National Archives index page for the National Archives Repository (which includes the formal Transvaal Province) by clicking here. This index searches all types of records held within the National Archives Repository; to list only death notices, type in "MHG" as one of the search terms for entries. The volume number and reference, as well as the year, are essential in order to obtain a copy of the death notice. The reference should look something like this:

MHG ref. 33266, Abraham Johannes Kruger, 1917. at....

and found this ref for 1939
