    1. [BOER-WAR] Scarbrow/Scarborough possible death in SA??
    2. Lois Kemp
    3. Hello everyone, this is my first post and hope someone will be able to point me in the direction to find information on my great grandfather, so here goes, Charles Edward Scarbrow was born 1874 in Surrey England, his parents were Henry and Maria Scarbrow. In Nov 1894 he married Sarah Elizabeth Smith of Sambro, Nova Scotia, on their marriage license Charles listed himself as a soldier stationed in Halifax. They had one child Gertude Isabel Born Mar 06 1895, it is then said in the family that Charles was killed during the Boer War. For some reason Charles changed the spelling of his surname to SCARBOROUGH (as listed on marriage license). Also, I am not sure if Charles was in the Canadian or British army, can't seem to find this either. I have not been able to confirm if Charles Scarborough died or not in the war, I cannot seem to find the right information or the right place to look. If anyone can help, please let me know as I would like to know what happened to him and if he did die serving his country I would like it remembered. Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
