Hello Elizabeth Maria Wolvaardt was born in Paarl around 1910/20 - her mother was Ellie Von Willich/Wiellich - her father a Mr Wolvaardt - and those are the only details I have. Any info on this family would be appreciated. Thank you Mary

Hello from England I'm in desperate search of a marriage record for Harry George LAING and Isabella Gertrude RIES. (Isabella was from "Mooihoek" Piet Retief.) They married 17th May 1913 in Piet Retief. I am trying to locate the names of Harry George's parents. He was born in Cape Town 23rd November 1881. I have a copy of his Death Notice, but there is no mention of who his parents were. Only that his nationality was SA English/Scot. I am hoping that a marriage record will have his parents' names listed? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I'm new to the list so please be patient with me! My g-g-grandfather John Wilkins TUCKER was born in Swansea, UK in 1851, and married and had family there, from which I'm descended. He was a merchant seaman, and arrived in Cape Town on the Antonio Vinent on May 11 1880, from where he is recorded as having deserted. Amongst many other possibilities, he may have remarried and had family in S.Africa. If anyone has any information as to what may have happened to him, it would be most gratefully received. Regards Nick Tucker Stone, Staffordshire, UK

THE CHILDREN'S FRIEND SOCIETY INTRODUCTION The Children's Friend Society (CFS) was a philanthropic organization founded in London in 1830. At first known as the Society for the Suppression of Juvenile Vagrancy, its aim was to improve the 'helpless and fallen conditions of the children of the poor'. Thousands of vagrant and pauper children were then living on the streets, or in workhouses and prisons. The CFS established 'asylums' where children could be sheltered, rehabilitated, educated, trained and indentured in various occupations, to give them an opportunity to escape from their disadvantaged circumstances and become industrious, self-supporting British citizens. Although initially the CFS had no intention of sending these children overseas, the unemployment rate in Britain was high, and the CFS had difficulty finding suitable situations for the children taken into its care. Due to the abolition of slavery in the British Empire, there was at the same time a shortage of labour at the Cape of Good Hope. The CFS decided that sending the children to the Cape as indentured labourers was the solution to these problems. Between 1830 and 1840 approximately 800 juvenile emigrants were shipped to the Cape, and apprenticed to employers as artisans or farm workers. In 1839, allegations were made of ill-treatment of the children by their Cape masters, and an unjustified perception arose in the minds of the public that the CFS was dealing in slave labour. A Government Inquiry was instituted and resulted in the 'Report from the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope to the Secretary of the Colonies, relative to the Condition and Treatment of the children sent out by the Children's Friend Society'. The CFS was largely vindicated in this Report, published in 1840, but the Cape child emigrant scheme was discontinued. Nevertheless, it paved the way for other similar future schemes and led to a change for the better in laws governing indentured labour at the Cape. For family historians, the value of the 1840 Report is that it contains the names of many of the children then resident in the Cape, together with useful details of their ages, occupation and treatment by their masters. In some cases there are clues as to their place of origin, whether they had relatives living and, if so, whether the emigrant maintained contact with family members in England. Magistrates who conducted the interviews also made comments as to the apprentices' health, appearance and general behaviour.

"I feel now I must also seek your advice on tracing my father a Arthur Thomas Bishop born 10 June 1922, East Dulwich, London.

The motivation for my request is just simply a matter of closure to locate a possible grave/ashes site of my father for a future visit by myself to South Africa. I have never had any verbal conversations with this man but he did pay my mother support for 17 years after which they divorced in 16 December 1971. His location at that time was Gaborone in Botswana as a Tourist Officer under a 3 year contract. This raises a question I would obviously like to know. Do I have any half siblings alive? His will I'm sure will reveal some clues if the information is available. I'm an Australian citizen and have lived in Australia now for 35 years we immigrated here in 1977."

In the Ancestry24 website for South Africa there is a reference to a Cape Town Deceased Estate of Arthur Thomas Bishop Estate number 7995/99, died 7 August 1999. The motivation for my request is just simply a matter of closure to locate a possible grave/ashes site of my father for a future visit by myself to South Africa. I have never had any verbal conversations with this man but he did pay my mother support for 17 years after which they divorced in 16 December 1971. His location at that time was Gaborone in Botswana as a Tourist Officer under a 3 year contract. This raises a question I would obviously like to know. Do I have any half siblings alive? His will I'm sure will reveal some clues if the information is available. I'm an Australian citizen and have lived in Australia now for 35 years we immigrated here in 1977." Michael Bishop - 14 April 2012 Hello Listers, Michael Bishop in Australia is looking for information about his family. Is there anyone in the Cape Town area who could help him or direct him to the person he needs to contact to obtain a copy of the estate file. Besides: The Head Western Cape Provincial Archives and Records Service Postal address: Private Bag X9025, CAPE TOWN 8000 Street address: 72 Roeland Street, CAPE TOWN Tel: (021) 466 8100. Fax: (021) 465 2960 Perhaps the file is still lying with the Master. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I also have a Great Granddad who worked on the South African railways.  He probably left England around a similar time to your relatives.  I don't know how to find him but if I manage to I will let you know.  His name was James Alfred Johnson, he was a time-keeper for the South Africa Railway.

Can anyone help me find, or advise me how to find details of a number of brothers who arrived in Capetown at various times and who all worked for the railways as far as I know.  They were Percy Anderson arrived around 1894, aged ~27?; Wallace Hartshorne Anderson who arrived on ss Goorka in 1902, aged ~38; Luke Anderson who possibly arrived on ss Gascon in 1903, aged ~43 ; William Edward Anderson who arrived on ss Garth Castle in 1910, originally went to East London and later went to Cape Town, aged ~38 ; and Arthur Anderson who possibly arrived in 1928, aged ~58?. They all came from South London and I have the details of their life there but have hardly any information after they left England.

Hi Angela On www.ancestry24.co.za there are many records for the Pickersgill family including a free death notice for a Henry Samuel son of Samuel John from Cornwall. There are also street directories and family trees pertaining to that surname.
