Good Morning All, Can any of the RANDALL researchers kindly assist with the young lady Sarah RANDALL born ?? died in Zeerust in 1928 who married on 07 July, 1876 in the Methodist Chapel, King Williams Town. I am trying to link her back into the main RANDALL family. An extract from the Garhamstown Journal, copied from the Kingwilliamstown Watchman, and recorded in The LEVEY Family Tree by Val TREVORROW reads as follows: "Matrimonial: On Friday last, C.J.LEVEY Esq., British Resident with the Emmigrant Tambookies, was united in Holy Wedlock with Miss RANDALL, eldest daughter of our respected townsman, W. RANDALL Esq., late of Her Majesties Purveyors department." The bridesmaids were the Misses LEVEY. Miss Annie RANDALL and the Misses SAVAGE. Can anyone assist with her dob and her parents? Also would anuone know where the term "Tambookie" came from? Regards, Rod g Sent from MWEB Message Centre - CONNECT AND YOU CAN

I can't help with her date of birth, but I do have this: Family Group Report For: Maria Susannah Randall (ID= 57) Date Prepared: 2 Nov 2013 NAME: RANDALL, Maria Susannah, Born 6 Mar 1885 in Queenstown, Cape Col, Died 23 Jun 1942 in East London at age 57; FATHER: RANDALL, Lucas, Born ??? 1856, Died ??? 1927 at age 71; MOTHER: POTGIETER, Louisa Alexandrina, Born ??? 1858, Died ??? 1931 at age 73 MARRIED 23 Nov 1903, to FALKENBERG, William Christian Harry, Born 30 Jan 1879, Died 22 Jun 1955 in Johannesburg at age 76; FATHER: FALKENBERG, Michael Johann Christian, Born 25 Jul 1827, Died 12 Jun 1882 at age 54; MOTHER: SCHULTZ, Justine Wilhelmine, Born 22 Jun 1849, Died 21 Apr 1927 at age 77 CHILDREN: 1.

Most of their children were baptised at St Michael's Anglican Church (now cathedral) in Queenstown, so you might find some Randalls there too. -- Keep well, Steve Hayes Blog: http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/famhist1.htm E-mail: [email protected]
