Gwyn in Kent has a good point - if you can find out what missionary agency he was working with, they might well have a wealth of info. |

Isaiah's death would have to be registered according to local law. If he was working anyplace remote, there probably is no rego for him. (Even in Canada, there was no registration in the NWT (i.e., north of 60) until 1925. His death could be registered with the local British consul or whatever (but not in South Africa), and his death would then be in the minor records at the GRO.. Currently, this can be a rather costly process, as a d.cert in a foreign language has to be translated by a certified translater, and the translation notarized. However, one would only have to do this once - thereafter one could send off to the GRO, and get copies at 7 GBP (or whatever the 1910-ish price was. |

Was he attached to a particular church / college which might hold records of his work and life? |

My Great aunt once told me that her uncle Isaiah Jones was a Missionary in Africa and was killed there. |
