    3. Dear all, I am trying to find information about my g-g-grandmother. Any facts would be very welcome! I have looked through the passenger lists of German arrivals and English arrivals of the period but have not found any information about her. There is just the slightest chance that the surname might be Holland rather than Bolland (looks like Bolland on the certificate but you never know!) I have not been able to find a death notice for her on NAAIRS. Civil deaths on Familysearch start after her death. *Christine Bolland* Born 1827 (according to the St Katherine's, Uitenhage, burial record she was 50 at the time of her death) Married on 18 Aug 1857 in Stutterheim to Ernst Frederick Carl Pfingsten (who had arrived on 10 Feb 1857 in East London as a soldier of the British German Legion). Died in Uitenhage on 27 Nov 1877. Christine and Ernst moved to Uitenhage when he left the Army in 1860 and he is described as a shopkeeper on his death notice. He married for a second time after Christine's death and had a son from that second marriage. Christine and Ernst had, as far as I have been able to find, 5 daughters Augusta Caroline Pfingsten (1857-1931) who married John Rutherford Smith Johanna Sophia Christina Pfingsten (1859-1949) who married Frederick Edward Thompson Sarah Hermina Fredricka Christina Pfingsten (1860-1946) who married Tunbridge Wells Victoria Margaret Pfingsten (1862-1952) who married Hugh Brady Emma Eliza Charlotte Pfingsten (1867-1938) who married William Peter Gleeson Thanks Selma
