Betsy Hillocks Robertson neè Bruce

Post by darylrodger » Sat Dec 31, 2016 1:32 am

Hi,

I'm trying to find my 2 x great aunt Betsy Hillocks Bruce Robertson, who immigrated circa 1901 from Glasgow with her husband David to South Africa.
I know her husband died on 5 Jan 1918, but don't know where. Apparently Betsy died in 1955 in Natal possibly near Pietermaritzburg, is there anywhere I
could find her death notice & probate/will ? or is there anyone willing to look it up for me ? I'm willing to recompense anyone who does this for me.

I have found a record on the NASA website which gives details of Betsy, it's held at the archives repository in Pietermaritzburg.

I'd appreciate any help as I can't find any info regarding her or David, or if she had any children in South Africa.

Thanks,

Daryl
