I thought listers might be interested in the following response I got from Anne Lehmkuhl to the following request for assistance: >I am attempting to trace the family of my late Uncle Fred who emigrated >from England to South Africa in 1948 with his wife Kitty ( Katherine ) >and teenage children Bernard, Audrey and Theresa. > >I believe they settled in Johannesburg. Sadly we lost contact with the >family about 30 years ago. > >My family believe that Bernard died about 20 years ago and we are not >sure whether or not the daughters married. There are two records in the Archives in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa: MSCE Reference 30675/1940 The estate file of Charles Frederick LOVELOCK, who died in 1940 and was married to Kate LOVELOCK (maiden name FINBOW) MSCE Reference 1504/1948 The estate file of Kate LOVELOCK (maiden name FINBOW), who died in 1948 (These events are too early for my family in SA but may be useful to other researchers ) Also, you could phone the following LOVELUCKs who are all listed in the current telephone directories in South Africa. The first two seem the most likely to be related to your family: E.A. LOVELOCK Lives in Durban, Tel: +27+31+9033851 J. LOVELOCK Lives in Newcastle, Tel: +27+34+3250654 H. LOVELOCK Lives in Hermanus, Tel: +27+28+3161630 K.A. LOVELOCK Lives in Johannesburg, Tel: +27+11+7935164 P.J. LOVELOCKE Lives in Johannesburg, Tel: +27+11+7833445 C. LOVELOCK Lives in Pretoria, Tel: +27+12+3442972 R.M. LOVELOCK Lives in Pretoria, Tel: +27+12+3270400 ( A FH researcher in SA rang several of these numbers on my behalf and one family said that they had heard about our Gathering in June - amazing how news travels!)
