I don't have anything that would help directly, but this may be a cousin or something, and so could provide some indirect clues: Family Group Report For: Theresa Clara Watson (ID= 1252) Date Prepared: 18 Feb 2014 NAME: WATSON, Theresa Clara, Born ??? 1839? in England, Died 17 Jun 1931 in Ealing, London at age 92; FATHER: WATSON, John Ross Malcolm, Born ??? 1826, Died ???; MOTHER: WEAVER, Helena Anne, Born ??? 1827, Died ???

They were living in Ladysmith, and Samuel Beningfield junior eloped with Proudfoot's wife to the Free State, where they got married (bigamously, I presume). Her mother and her lover also eloped with them. -- Keep well, Steve Hayes Blog: http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/famhist1.htm E-mail: [email protected]

Bev Bev I do not know how much I coud help, but I lived on a gold mine and my dad, and his dad were mine officials. The largest company of gold mines was Anglo American of South Africa and I know the names of the AASA GOLD mines of the 1900s if that helps? I grew up at Western Reefs mine, a new one which was started by my dad and 16 others, in 1953 in Orkney, on the Vaal river, about 100 miles SSW of Jo'burg. It had three shafts (one way to measure a mine's size is how many shafts took miners up and down). Then came Vaal Reefs, in a town of same name, a few miles away, and later those two were both called Vaal Reefs, a huge mining area with 11 shafts. Klerksdorp is about 8 miles north of Orkney and the largest town in that area. It was also a gold mine but was closed down, emptied, by the time Western Reefs was started. The underground mine workings went all over the place, under Stilfontein town, Westdriefontein, Orkney, Vaal Reefs, Vierfonteyn, and Klerksdorp, these all being towns that were developed above the extensive mining operations and eventually it was all called Vaalk reefs, but the original mines were these town names plus Western Reefs and minus Orkney. Orkney was never a mine name. Western Reefs mine was in Orkney. (Underground railways connected it all down there - so while there were all these discrete towns up top, it was all a big connected area of mining operations underground, and at several levels.) As for housing, that was a company policy matter. Anglo did offer its workers housing, and you got a house with a size and shape according to the job you did. You had to pay rent of two rand a month, just to make rental official that you did not own the house. BUT - when you retired or left, you had to leave the house and so it was smart to plan to buy one at retirement elsewhere. Black workers were housed in apartment style buildings, one for each tribal custom group, with vegetable gardens per culture, and entertainment ampitheatres per cultural group. Workers were made up in teams of ten who spoke the same language. There were an average of fifty languages spoken on one mine as workers came from all over Africa to work on mines. They did 2 weeks above ground training on arrival, including intensive safety and first aid training, while thery acclimatized to the altitude of 6000 feet or more. (I am convinced the apartheid idea was taken from the very effective mine system where workers had a choice of what language/culture group housing to use. But of course the govt made a total controlling mess of things with forced compliance instead of free choice and.......best I shall leave that subject....) Further south in Orange Free State, Welkom area, was a cluster of mines named: Freddies Free State Geduld President Brand Saaiplaas President Steyn Western Holdings Joel And further north circling Johannesburg (now Gauteng) the mines: Western Deep Levels (East Levels) Western Deep Levels (Levels West) Western Deep Levels (Levels South) Elandsrand Those were Anglo mines and there were others but those I rememeber less about. Carletonville mine of course was famous because of sinkholes there. East Rand Mine is at Boxburg. East of the western Deep Levels mines is East Rand mine and still more east, Evander mine. Earliest GOLD mines were at Pilgrim's Rest and Barberton, after which the Witwatersrand gold reef was discovered.......all those ANglo mines followed from the 1886 gold rush. DIAMOND MINES They started 1867 with diamonds on the Orange River bank, Kimberley developed as a centre where you can still see the "Big Hole" In the mid to late 1800s many people staked claims in the area, and each owned their little claim area. The van der Merwe joke about the later develpment of one giant digging at Kimberley, was that VdM won the local biggest carrot grown that year competition, but explained the carrot was too big to bring along to show people. However, they could go see the big hole it came out of.... Diamonds were also found near Johannesburg at Cullinan mine. OTHER MINES SA has uranium mines (esp at Western Reefs, now Vaal Reefs) coal mines (low sulphur which is low pollution coal), vanadium, platinum manganese zirconium rutile and the list goes on. Do you know what kind of mining names you need? I hope you find what you nede. I thought this might be a starting place. Namaste, Irene Irene de Villiers, B.Sc AASCA MCSSA D.I.Hom/D.Vet.Hom. P.O.

Afternoon all With the listowner's permission. I would like to announce that Frieda and Michael Honiball's e-book "Nauhaus: A remarkable missionary family" is now available through the www.cdbooks-r-us.com shop. In this interesting book the authors present a history of the Nauhaus family, focusing on the four family members who left Germany as missionaries to Southern Africa, set out in the context of their Protestant Christian heritage. The authors present more than 500 years of their family history in an interesting, informative, yet easily readable manner. This family history is set out in the context of the origins of Protestantism, of the Moravian Missionary Movement, and of the activities of the Berlin Missionary Society in Southern Africa. Also included are the biographies of the Moravian missionary Carl Friedrich Nauhaus and his three nephews, the Berlin missionaries Carl Theodor Nauhaus, Friedrich Wilhelm Nauhaus and Carl August Ferdinand Nauhaus, all of whom left Germany in the nineteenth century for mission services in Southern Africa. Much of the detail has never before been published, including the importance of the role of Carl August Ferdinand Nauhaus as a Volksraad member during the founding years of the Orange Free State. As such, this book is of much wider importance than simply being a family history of relevance only to Nauhaus descendants. The table of contents reads as follows: Preface 1. Carl Friedrich Nauhaus - Early Forefathers - Historical Context - The Early Years of Carl Friedrich Nauhaus - The Moravians at the Cape - The Mission Work of Carl Friedrich Nauhaus - The Impact of the Frontier Wars - The Closing Years 2. Carl Theodor Nauhaus - Growing up in Rathenow - The Berlin Missionary Society - Carl Theodor Nauhaus enters Mission Service - Service as Superintendent - The Eldest Son Moves to Matabeleland - The Boer War - Their Children continue in Missionary Service - Walter Leopold Nauhaus 3. Friedrich and Ferdinand Nauhaus - Family Background - Departure for South Africa - The Shiloh Mission Station - The Arrival of Carl August Ferdinand Nauhaus - The Eighth Frontier War - Ending their Mission Service - Farmers in the Orange River Sovereignty - Founding Member of the Volksraad - Farming Life - Death and Hardships - The Ravages of the Boer War - Nauhaus Marries a Huguenot Descendant - The Impact of The First World War - The Current Generation Family Tree: - The Descendants of Martin Nauhaus 4.

Hi Ellen Thanks for your reply and the link. The specific records that both Bart and I are looking for are the St Mary's the Less Jeppestown Marriages 1901-1905 which are not on the FamilySearch site or on the DVD held at Wits although it is listed in the Index. As there were Baptisms during that period the church was could not have been closed. I am planning to visit the Historical Papers Library at Wits to see if any of the physical registers for Jeppestown are held there and if I find anything I will photograph them.

Hello Bart, BS> The Primrose Cemetery right now, is good to be photographed I know Alta Griffiths, who manages the eGGSA gravestone photographs collection has contacted you about the Primrose Cemetery because I told her of your offer of the photographs you had. You can reach her on [email protected] Alta does organise group photography at cemeteries but any such session really needs to be organised by someone on the ground who can communicate with all the photographers so that as much as possible is photographed with as little duplication as possible. This is really not possible to do from an email address unless there is only going to be one person doing all the work. If you have a free for all - then Alta and her team - all of whom are volunteers with lives of their own - will not only need to read and caption all the pictures - a lengthy and tedious business which they do a great amount of - but sort out duplication which is bound to happen - and that can only be done once the photos are captioned - wasting photographer time and captioner time. A good idea perhaps to publish lists of cemeteries that need photographing but this, again, really needs local people - how can one person know what cemeteries there are in the country - if given the name and location, Alta can tell you if they have been done, completely, partly or not at all. I think it might be an idea for you to offer your services to Alta who can certainly give you good advice on both organising and the photography. Zimbabwe has also been done to some extent and photographs are very welcome: http://www.eggsa.org/library/main.php?g2_itemId=391207 All the best, Richard -- Richard Ball, Norfolk, England http://www.ballfamilyrecords.co.uk [email protected]
