Comments

This death certificate is in the name of Lillian Johnson. The certificate includes an affidavit indicating that the mother, Maggie Kent, had two children. The first, Lillian Johnson, was born 2 April 1917 and was the daughter of Kent's husband Charles Johnson. The second, Naomi Mafume, was born in May 1919 and was the daughter of William Mafume. The latter child died, but the mother mistakenly gave the wrong name to the undertaker.
