Somwaria (Mahidan) expired October 15, 1929, eleven days after the birth of my father, Mohamed Ashin.
I have also
been working on a B.R. list, I can confirm that B.R. does indeed
mean Birth Register, a Register was kept of all the first Guyana
born Indians for each year.
Your Grandmother Somwaria was born in Guyana
in 1902 and her B.R. number was 850, I haven't got onto the
next stage yet but I am assuming that there are Registers at the
G.P.O./Archives in Guyana for 1902 that should contain both her and
her Parent's details.
