Hi Listers, Looking for info on my grgrgrandmother Sarah DODDS. In the book 'Karoo' ch 6 it talks about the flood of February 27, 1871 that hit the town of Victoria West - When the water struck the village, Rainie Dodds, the belle of Victoria West, was trying on her wedding dress. The house collapsed, her spine was injured by falling bricks, and very soon she died. People on the lower side called to Ferguson to throw a rope across. With the aid of this rope Mrs. Dodds and six people from her house reached safety, leaving the body of poor Rainie to the flood. If anybody has more information about the DODDS family - ancestors or descendants, I would love to hear more about it - I didn't know that I had such interesting items in the family tree ! Best wishes to all, Sylvia

OK will do.

Hi Peter, I only have her name as she married my grgrgrandmother's cousin - Kenneth Richard MACASKILL (1865-1924) and they had 7 children.

I am searching for information on Thomas Leicester b. 1847 in Cheshire, England, emigrated to Capetown where he married Kate Rutter (who was from Capetown). Believe they had 3 children: Francis (perhaps Frances), Annie and Maud Leicester. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Pat

Catharina van Malabar arrived at the Cape sometime before 1673; born abt 1650. Catharina married Kees de Boer( Cornelis Claesz) in 1676. Catharina was a slave and had a child previous to her children with Cornelis. I am wondering if there is a way to find out the approximate date of her arrival at the Cape and the date of her freed status. Thanks, Sharon

Hello Sylvia That name isn't familiar to me yet, but I'm doing my best to trace the Alcock family from the early arrivals, so perhaps! What do you know of Minnie?

Does any lister have any information about the arrival of the ship Damietta in Natal from the UK in December 1865? I'm trying to trace Joseph Alcock, my great grandfather's brother, who was on board according to family lore. Peter

Dear Fellow Listers, Can anyone help me? I read Ellen Stantons transcriptions from the South African magazine with great interest. Sept 17th 1854. a baptism by Rev J L Parisius VDM at the EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH . Would that be German or Dutch? Is it or was it in Cape Town? Thanking you in anticipation. Sharon

I am researching the St John Kneller family and descendants that came to South Africa from England circa 1890. Lauriston Willyams St John Kneller was a native of Ladysmith and a private in the 4th South African Infantry died on 12th April 1917 in action in France. He was the son of Mr E St John Kneller and his wife Mrs F M St John Kneller of 228, St Thomas Road, Durban, Natal. Any information regarding St John Knellers in South Africa since the 1890s until the present day will be much appreciated. Yours faithfully Mr K Newman Kneller
