His address: 3 Fifteenth Avenue, MAYFAIR. Seven years earlier his niece Catherine Mary Sophia Booyzen married Nuno Fernando Lerena at St Joseph’s, Mayfair — the hinge between this archive and the Lerena one. He was living in that parish. And a doctor’s name, A. L. Agranat, and an informant at 6 Jorissen Street who is described only as the person causing the burial — not a relative, on the form’s own wording.
