Good afternoon list, I'm currently looking for information for a lady who lives in South Africa. She is tracing her G Grandfather WALTER KING, who apparently was born in Norfolk. 1880: Walter King, ?wheelwright. All I have is that My great-grandmother Sarah Jane Porter married Walter King ( m.23rd May 1882 in SA). Walter came to South Africa when he was twelve years old with his father to help the British Military with their wagons and fixed their wheels. Walter is buried in Grahamstown, South Africa. The family came from Norfolk. That is all I have. If you can help trace him in Norfolk I have looked for a long time and cannot find anything that might help and this includes immigration lists. . I have emailed her and asked for more information (if she has any). In the meantime if anyone can advise on where to look next, much appreciated.

Hi Ann, Does your friend have Walter's marriage certificate, and if so does it give his age and/or occupation and/or his father's name and occupation? If she hasn't got it, can she get a copy of it? (I don't know how much detail you get on SA marriage certificates.) Alternatively, how old was Walter when he died? At least we could then work back to a likely year of birth and a date of emigration. No good looking for him on the 1871 census if he was in South Africa by then. :) Pam On 12 December 2015 at 08:13, SBS Engineers Research via < norfolk@rootsweb.com> wrote: > Good afternoon list, > > I'm currently looking for information for a lady who lives in South > Africa.
