Thanks very much everyone for your help, I couldn't have found them without you, I have spoken to my uncle and ran the Pauling name past him and he said " no it was more like a Browner, Blonger or Brooner " and If you look at Harolds names (Brounger) seems to be included so I think this confirms that we have the right person/s taking into account the memory of an 80 plus uncle who is going back 75/80 years to his childhood. So thanks again everyone for your interest and assistance much appreciated Jacquie

yes the death notice should have the childrens names on them, south african death notices seem to include a lot more info than a british death cert, it's definatly worth ordering them Jacquie, there will be loads of other useful info on them aswell.

Hi Jacquie
Just found this while doing a search for Harold WIlliam Brounger Pauling, and have a little more to add. (Harold is my 1st cousin, 4 times removed.) There is a book, written by George Tabor (another Pauling relative) called 'The Cape to Cairo Railway', ISBN 0-9544847-0-3. Page 149 refers to Harold dying in 1904 and "... He left his widow Gussie Gordon Davis, of Welsh extraction with a family ..." There is no further mention of her, but you did say your uncle remembers a 'Gussie'. I have 5 children for them and willing to send what (little) detail I have for them (only 'acquired' them in Sep last year).

Regards

Maureen
