Hi list, Trawling through the databases on Ancestry24.com.za I found some possible names. How can I go further on the 1891 Cape Almanac for John CLARK and on the 1929 Cape Telephone Residents being 2 John CLARK in the book? I would love the addresses of them if this is possible. Many thanks for any assistance with the CLARK surname. Michele in Sydney Australia

I find Ancestry.com much easier to use, but one has to have patience sometimes to wade through all the possible documents which come up. Best wishes, Rose

Derek, I recently used genesreunited.co.uk. One could search to see whether the names (in this case 1841 census) are there, and only required to pay a nominal amount (R45, for 10) for reading the actual census pages.

Hi There use to be a "backdoor" into ancestry.com via the Suffern Library now unfortunately firmly shut, locked and bolted! This has prevented me continuing my research on the people buried at St Paul's graveyard (see www.stpaulsrondebosch.co.za) so I'm going to subscribe to either ancestry.co.uk or findmypast.co.uk Prices are about the same. Any recommnedations before I splash out my priestly pennies?

I tend to use Findmypast more than Ancestry because the search options on Ancestry are so confusing. Both are OK, though both have unbelievable corruption in many of the transcriptions (both of course give access to the original images and allow you to submit corrections). I have noticed that neither of them is reliably complete, though I haven't gone into comparing the gaps. What gaps there are are not very substantial. anyway.

Hi Derek, I've used both and had to say that I prefer Ancestry.co.uk..... Why did I subscribe to both? Sailings TO the U.K. from South Africa can be found on ancestry.co.uk and sailings FROM the U.K. to South Africa can be found on findmypast......SO irritating.

Good day SA, I'd be very grateful for any help given in tracing my uncle Ted and any descendants who I understand emmigrated to South Africa from west London, England during the mid 1970's.

Can anyone suggest where I should look for the birth of Jack Howard VINCENT, born in Capetown in 1872. His father, Cecil, was supposedly an officer in the Indian Army, and his mother, Ellen nee HOPE, died in childbirth. I have been unable to trace him until he came to New Zealand in about 1896 and the above details are from information he gave his family, but I SUPSECT he was guilty of that 'romantic memory' that some of our forebears indulged in! Many thanks Dorothy

Hi list I am trying to find information on Hazel Daniels, born 10 Jan 1940 in Capetown. She left Capetown in 60s to marry my uncle Frederick Aird Brewster in Wales. They had two children, Lesley and Steven. I'm afraid that's all the detail I know. Many thanks.

Hi list, This is my 1st posting to the list. Am looking for John & Bella CLARK who operated a grocery store in Cape Town from c.1880-1940. Due to lack of more information, I am 'really stumbling in the dark" exactly where the store was located. If SKS has a Trades Directory who could do a lookup for me to provide the 1st link where to look for this CLARK family I would be very appreciative. John was born in April 1869 in Newhills Aberdeen and Bella I am still trying to find her birth somewhere in Scotland. Their children were Archie and Annie. Annie married Samuel Abraham COHEN prior to 1921 and she died in August 1986. Archie helped in the store until he migrated to the USA as a Marine Engineer. Many thanks for any assistance with my query. Michele in Sydney Australia

I am trying to find details of the arrival in South Africa, from England, of a William Walker, wife Lilian and daughter lily, together with his mother Mary Walker and his sister and her family, William Anderson, Lilian Beatrice Anderson and their son Herbert William Anderson. I believe they arrived around 1910 or so and settled in the Rondebosch area. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 7 million users fighting spam.

Hi Wendel, Either the Anglican church St Michaels and All Angels who have records available or the Methodist church who do not due to a fire. Try also Ancestry24 as he may have been buried in St Peter's cemetery in Observatory. Regards, David B Hi I am new at this, hope somebody can help! I am looking for more information on my grandfather Gerald John Hough, born and died in Cape Town, and lived in Main St, Observatory, Cape Town next to the old Lion Match Factory. I am also trying to find out who his parents were, who also lived at the same address. I have tried the NAAIRS database and the www.e-family.co.za (Use option CDNI (Cape Death Notice Index) by clicking on C.D.N.I.) And have found nothing that I can link to. The last contact with the family was in 1980, so they lived in Observatory to this date. I am even willing to try an old Cape Town phone book, to try and find some initials, we do not even know what church they belonged too. I hope there is somebody who might have some advice or information.

Hi, I own a 1958-9 and a 1965-6 Cape Times Directory. In the former (1958-9) there is a G HOUGH living at 209 Lower Main Road [Lower Main Road is completely different from Main Road or Main Street - The Lion Match Factory is/was on the corner of Lower Main Road and St Michaels Road, Observatory]. Now, 209 is on the left hand side (Mountain) of Lower Main Road between Milton and Bishop Road. The Lion Match Factory is on the Right hand side from St Michael's Road to Nelson Road. Bishop Road is more-or less opposite St Michael's Road so 209 must have be not quite opposite the Match Factory but a block or so nearer Rondebosch from it. The 1965-6 Edition has 203-211 listed as Apartments and no HOUGH's in Observatory at all - one in Falmouth Road Mowbray - near Medical School - I would call it Observatory but Mowbray is a much better address lol. Sorry just found one in Lower Trill Road - a P A HOUGH If G HOUGH died post 1960 the Cape Archives won't have his death notice yet and the CDNI is very sporadic post 1960. The Master's Office becomes your best bet. As far Churches go, there are quite a few within walking distance from 209 Lower Main Road including Catholic, Methodist Congregational (now burnt down) as well as of course Anglican (grin) St Michael's in St Michael's Road. Fr Richard Girdwood is the Rector there 0214476420 Not sure of his email as I have only the 2009 Year book but you could try [email protected] Derek Pratt Rector St Paul's Anglican Church Rondebosch On 27/04/2010 12:36, [email protected] wrote: > Hi > > I am new at this, hope somebody can help! > > I am looking for more information on my grandfather Gerald John Hough, born > and died in Cape Town, and lived in Main St, Observatory, Cape Town next to > the old Lion Match Factory. > > I am also trying to find out who his parents were, who also lived at the > same address. > > I have tried the NAAIRS database and the www.e-family.co.za (Use option > CDNI (Cape Death Notice Index) by clicking on C.D.N.I.) > > And have found nothing that I can link to. > > The last contact with the family was in 1980, so they lived in Observatory > to this date. > > I am even willing to try an old Cape Town phone book, to try and find some > initials, we do not even know what church they belonged too. > > I hope there is somebody who might have some advice or information. > > > > Kind Regards > > Wendel > > > > > > Thaba Tsweni Lodge& Safaris > > PO Box 45 > > Graskop > > 1270 > > > > Tel: 013 7671380 > > Fax: 086 5241131 > > Email: [email protected] > > Web: www.blyderivercanyonaccommodation.com > > > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > >

Hi, As somebody has already informed you there are no census for those years. The years are:- 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871,1881,1891,1901 and 1911, so it's every ten years. You can browse the records on Ancestryuk if you register, but i have access to the site, so if you would like me to do a look up for you i am quite willing. There is also FindMyPast, which you can browse but it is a pay for view from Afryl On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 5:49 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Listers, > ? > Does anyone have a net address of a source of England census for 1900, > 1910, 1920, 1930? > ? > ? > Thank you, > ? > Bob > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' > without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
