Edward Reuben Yerbury
"Edward Reuben YERBURY (born in 1843) died on 29 July
1932 at 121
Dalkeith Road, Edinburgh.
There had been some confusion as to the year of death of
Edward Reuben Yerbury, reported elsewhere as being 1933. However,
Tony Martin-Jones has now clarified the position, after visiting the
National Library of Australia in Canberra and consulting the death notices
in the Scotsman for 1932, then providing the details above.
