Hi Paul,
This looks like a strong case, so long as the DC states malaria as a cause of death.  I'm happy to buy the DC if yoi're ok with that?

Hi Paul,
I found the burial record on the council website.  Do you know how to gain the Register entry?

No, but Terry usually accepts the website. I will try to get a photo of the grave but it looks like it may be an unmarked public burial.
