My grandfather was Pte William Edward Liquorish, No.4178, of Royal Scots 2nd Dragoons. He was at sometime a lance-corporal and may have been wounded in fighting at Uitval's Nek. It is thought that in Dec.1899 he was in hospital at "Praittara" (Pretoria ?) and wrongly listed as No 4179. My grandmother had been previously married to a Thomas William Holland, of whom little can be found in civil records. However, a Pte T Holland, No 4158, of 6th Middlesex Regt.is believed to have died in Cape Town on 21/9/1900. Could he have been my grandmother's first husband ? Any information about these two men - especially next of kin - would be enormously welcome. Ken. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
