Good Afternoon all from a very flu'y lister, I am back on the trail of my grandmother's family, the BROSTERs and their related branches. I have old letters indicating ties going back to 1066.

Hi, I’ve been following the Pudifin thread with some interest because of a *possible* connection – Pudifin, or its variants, being so unusual. I have links to an Edward Puttifin, no date or place of birth/baptism yet, but working on the assumption (always a dangerous thing to do!) that he was at least 21 when he married, then his year of birth could have been about 1690. He married Mary Squire in Stoke Gabriel, Devon on 23 Nov 1714 and was buried there 26 Jun 1758. My link being that one of their children, Christian Puttifin, married Richard Hinkson (bap 25 Jul 1725, Landulph, Cornwall) on 14 Nov 1752, Stoke Gabriel, and one of their daughters, also named Christian, married a 4 x Great-uncle, William Matthews, 26 Oct 1780, Stoke Gabriel. There are quite a few variants of Puttifin on Findmypast and wonder if it a corruption of the French surname Poidevin. (From Geneanet: common in the north of Brittany, the name is probably a variant of Poitevin - from Poitou). If you ever come across an Edward Puttifin born about 1690, please let me know!

Hi Sue, Please excuse my ignorance if I intrude in this discussion but can I ask for your help? Although my gr-grandfather Dr. James Gibson came to South Africa only in 1857 via Port natal and not a settler he died in Grahamstown in 1872 and I did not manage to get any additional information of the family in Grahamstown and will be grateful if you could let me know if you find anything when you reach that date?

The earlier editions of the Grahamstown Journal (up to 1853) are held at the National Archives at Kew and can be viewed without appointment in the Map Room on the second floor (you will need a reader's ticket) The more recent transcriptions I have been doing are from original copies held at the British Library. The newspapers are stored in Boston Spa in Yorkshire, but if you are registered with the British Library you can order them, on 48 hours' notice, to be viewed in the Newsroom at the British Library in St.Pancras, London (opposite St.Pancras station). They keep them for a couple of days before sending them back to Yorkshire. I was there on Friday and Saturday and photographed 1864-1867 inclusive, but didn't manage to get up to 1870, although I had ordered those. This was because there are more editions to go through (several a week) and after taking over 1300 photos I ran out of time and battery, even with a back-up battery, so left early on Saturday - just as well as it turned out, as there was rugby on in Cardiff and pandemonium at the station, so God knows when I would have got home had I left it any later. I have just updated the file for the first quarter of 1864, which previously only had January and a few issues in February http://www.eggsa.org/newspapers/index.php/grahamstown-journal/1173-grahamstown-journal-1864-1-january-to-march Sue Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2015 07:19:43 +0100 Subject: Re: [SOUTH-AFRICA] Settler Update From: bazder@ntlworld.com To: rhoosesue@outlook.com; south-africa@rootsweb.com Hi SueWonderful work you do.Where in London do you go to view these archives?Thank youRegardsCate On 23 April 2015 at 22:23, Sue Mackay via <south-africa@rootsweb.com> wrote: I am going to London tomorrow and will hopefully be able to photograph the Grahamstown Journal from 1864-1870 (there may be gaps).
