Dear listers I am hoping that someone may be able to assist me. A friend is in a predicament! She was asked many years ago by a friend of hers who lived in Zim if he could use her address in South Africa for a bank account. Recently she received a document from the bank which shows that there are still funds in the account. She knows that he has died but does not know when. She does not know if he had any family who would be entitled to these funds. His P.O. Box was in Marondera, but he also owned a flat in Harare. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how my friend could contact his Executor, assuming that he had an Estate? It would be sad if these funds were lost to a South African bank! Adrian Rowe Durban

Hello Listers, I am new to this list but would like to know if there is a researcher who lives in Bulawayo who would be able to help me. A distant relative has given me the information that there is a grave somewhere near the base of the kopje on which Cecil J Rhodes is buried. This is supposedly the grave of Carl Schulz, my great grandfather. My family lived in Bulawayo in the early 1960's and I recall a visit to the Matobo and C J Rhodes' grave and that my parents stood and read the stone of another grave nearby. What is very clear about that memory is my Mother saying to my Father, "What do you think?" to which Dad responded "Maybe". This makes me think that the information I have been given might be true. I am hoping that there is a researcher living in the Bulawayo area who could verify this for me. And, asking a lot, photograph the tomb stone if it still exists. Thank you Lynette Oakes Surrey, UK

Hello list members, "A happy new years to you all". About 18 months ago I posted an email trying to find a researcher or information on my relations who moved to South Africa and then to Zimbabwe back in early 1900's. You were marvellous in your response and through your help I did get all the information. BUT I would still like to get a photo of the grave of Laura Alice May Hines who died in 1969 in the Selukwe Hospital. Her death certificate says the proposed cemetery of burial is Selukwe.Her husband Ernest David Hines is also buried with her. He died in 1965/66. Can anyone guide me as to who I would contact to ask if they would be willing to take a photo of the grave for me. According to Laura's will there are two small plaques on the grave and an edging around the grave. I believe this is an old cemetery and maybe not used much anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Have a great day, Regards, Hilary Marks. roygirl@alphalink.com.au

STARTING 19690000 ENDING 19690000 You will have to obtain the original records but it appears that Laura and Ernest died in South Africa in 1969 / 1965 and not in Bulawayo (or Selukwe) as you thought. Somebody on this list or on the South Africa list will be able to assist you with obtaining the certificates and you can also look for a freelance researcher on the SA Archives website. I seem to remember that DEPOT = TAB means the archive is in the (old) Transvaal Archive repository - thus in the Johannesburg area - you will need to know this before appointing a researcher.

Hi Nikki and all, Can you help me to find the deaths of the above named folk please?

I'd love a copy of her death certificate and the name of the cemetery, grave number, if there is a plaque or head stone on it. She was my Auntie. I'd also like a copy of my great Aunts death certificate Laura (Loll) (Butler) HINES. She was married to Ernest Hines. I think in Bullawayo also. I'd like her death certificate, cemetery where buried and if there is a plaque of headstone. From the little I've been able to discover he died first. There were no children. I think she died about 1963. 10 odd years ago I went through some micro film from Rhodesia (as known when they were alive) but didn't get any results. It was difficult reading but I'm sure I didn't miss it. I'm hoping it will be a lot easier now. Can you help me please? They both came from Australia and that is where I live too. I'm hoping this means something to you but I found an address in my other great auntie's things after she died and this is what I found. Lol (Laura)Hines, P/O Selukive, STH. RHODESIA.

Yes, I believe a lot of children were dispatched to Rhodesia for a "better life" - and , from what I've heard, for the most part, they were success stories. Key to the success of the programme in Rhodesia was Kinglsey Fairbridge, to whom there is (was?) a memorial statue at the top of Christmas Pass near Umtali (now Mutare). Many of the "Fairbridge" children (as they were known) and their descendants became captains of Industry and Business in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. Fairbridge went on to extend the Programme to Australia, and provided scholarships for the children, many of whom were orphanned. For more info, do a google-search on Kingsley Fairbridge, and check www.fairbridge-worldwide.com/ Regards, -Grant Berry. Brisbane, Australia.
