What is the medal? Please tell us any inscriptions on the front or back. Is a name inscribed on the outer rim?

MGC: http://www.ladysmithhistory.com/horsley-family/ In the tree above, one William Horsley m. Sarah Wardell (b:1847). So Isaac Wardell (b:c.1817) is in the region of being her father/uncle or thereabouts ?. What is the relationship between Sarah and Isaac Wardell ?. - S.K.M. - [!!!] ====================== She was a Miss Wardell, address Ladysmith. Did a general search on FamilySearch and it came up with a 3rd record, Isaac Wardell but a younger man - marrying in the Dutch Reformed Church, Boshoff - maybe a son from first marriage? His profession given was "Zaaiboer" so he possibly had a farm in the mielie belt? Hope this helps. [Isaac Wardell, widower, wheel wright, age 54yrs, m:1871-01-30, Mary Ann Maria Richards, spinster, age 33yrs, at York in county of PMB, signed in presence of William Horsley and Sarah? Horsley. Married in the house of William Horsley.]: Isaac Wardell: How does he fit into the Wardell tree ?. ===

Re: Wardell - Horsley - Richards [!!!]. I don't have any ideas where Isaac Wardell fits in but yesterday I was looking at the Horsley family tree online on the Ladysmith history website and saw a Sarah Horsley. Reading your query I then looked her up on the Natal Marriages FamilySearch website. She was a Miss Wardell, address Ladysmith. Did a general search on FamilySearch and it came up with a 3rd record, Isaac Wardell but a younger man - marrying in the Dutch Reformed Church, Boshoff - maybe a son from first marriage?

Maybe they will have enough leverage to get all ZA records online - whoohoo Even pay-as-you-go credits work - I use that method for Scotland records - bit pricey but at least I can get them At least ancestry24's database is not lost - so even if one has to request ancestry.com lookups from the kind folk who have subscriptions - it's better than nothing Marcella On Oct 22, 2013, at 5:29 PM, Keith Meintjes <[email protected]> wrote: >> This is really good news > > It might be. > > We will see what Ancestry.com does.

I am also very happy that it has found its way to a reputable company which has the capacity to manage the data. My concern which I wish to express to you today is that data that was made available to donors and contributors to Ancestry24 for free access now find them in a situation that that data which was accumulated by free donations of time and effort will potentially be “sold” by Ancestry.com in future. I therefore would like to establish whether data that was previously accessible without charge on Ancestry24 will that data still be accessible without charge – and in particular my interest lies in the data of the grave images ?

Morning Joy, Please contact me as I have some lovely post cards on Cape town which I inherited from my gt grandfather. You may be interested.

Apart from being a Genie, I am also a keen Ameteur Photographer, and belong to the Cape Town Photographic Society (CTPS). CTPS - having been founded in 1890 - turns 125 on 30 October 2015 - just over 2 years from now.
