Hi All First sorry if you get a double listing of this request I am looking for marriage between Robert Gavan NUGENT and Bertha VOS I have been told that they had TRIPLETS but I don't know when they were born or their names. I am also looking for Marriages of the triplets to who and when and where. Robert Gavan NUGENT originally came from Australia to fight in the Boer War. Any information would be appreciated especially about the triplets as I don't know their age and they may have family my age. ANY INFORMATION IS WHAT I NEED TO GET ME STARTED ON THIS FAMILY PLEASE. ANYTHING Many thanks Sheelagh Wiles swiles@ozemail.com.au

Colyn: That's very kind of you. I don't know the exact location of Oupa's grave, but I can ask my cousin before you go scrambling through a thousand pathways. The plaques - I'm assuming that they haven't been removed - were on the walls of Christ Church in Kenilworth. When we worshipped there, Rev. Wakeling and Rev. Akehurst were the ministers as I remember. I believe the names on the plaques would be JOHN DEAN CARTWRIGHT, FRANK EDWIN CARTWRIGHT, and I can't remember the other, but any of CARTWRIGHT would be my kin. I believe that the Cartwright graves are @ Woltemade. There is a plaque in the Garden of Remembrance for my Dad, as he was cremated, ARTHUR LENNOX CARTWRIGHT. But, I have no idea the location of the other family graves. Names would be ANNA ROBERTSON REID, CHARLOTTE ANNA (WATERMEYER) CARTWRIGHT, JOHN DEAN CARTWRIGHT, FRANK (FRANCES?) EDWIN CARTWRIGHT. I'll have to see. I dimly remember & family cemetery and that the graves were moved out to Woltemade, but I have no idea where they are situated. But, please, do not go out of your way. Take care and enjoy your weekend. Are you cold & rainy by now?

You're very welcome. Shortly after I first arrived in US in '88, I had occasion to attend a friend's father's military funeral in Arlington Cemetery in Washington, DC. He had been a fairly high-ranking officer, so his funeral was dignified with all the pomp & ceremony trappings. I truly appreciated the opportunity of being at that funeral, I was so impressed with the honour bestowed on their soldiers, and how the young servicemen who were assigned to duty there did their jobs with such dignity. One would have thought that having done umpteen funerals in a day would somewhat erode their "snap", but it didn't seem to matter whether it was the first funeral or the last funeral of the day, each was accorded the prescribed decorum. Very reverential place. But what struck me so much was the amount of graves, they appeared endless. I suppose it must be like that in France too? No, I don't have a picture of Oupa's grave. Before I left, I didn't think it would be something that I would have wanted. But now, with doing the family genealogy from a distance & pretty sure that I shan't be able to return to SA, I really wished I'd done all of them. My father's family (Cartwright) have 3 or 4 brass plaques in Christ Church in Kenilworth, and I wish I'd taken pictures of those too. 20/20 hindsight!!

Good luck Colyn with all your endeavours. Although my g/father is not buried in a "war" grave, he did fight in WWII with the Transvaal Scottish regiment. I know that there's a picture of him holding me as an infant, in his kilt, tammie & sporran. He never would talk of his experiences at all, ever. He is buried in the Plumstead cemetery behind the sports grounds as you round the corner toward Southfield. He died whilst I was living in Canada, and it took me the longest time to be able to go & see his grave after my return.

Hi Heather & Listers Just a quick introduction; I live in Cape Town, and have done since 1985, I was born in the UK although my Mother was South African (Hermanus) my Father was English. He was stationed in Johannesburg during WWII. From 1966 to 1975 I served in the Scots Guards, and moved to South Africa in 1979. The signature below will probably say it all, but I have been researching both Family History and Military History for almost 20 years now. I try to get out every 3 months or so, and cover between 2,000 and 3,000 kilometers photographing war graves, although I do short (300km) trips on a more regular basis. I hope to retire in 2006 and spend more time in the field. Although I started photographing War Graves a few years ago the database concentrated on WWI and WWII, this was followed by the Angolan War. I only started on Boer War graves in January 2005, and will have to retrace some of my earlier trips. Requests from certain quarters recently have resulted in certain Shirwrecks being included. I currently have 2,700 photographs on file. I am receiving support (non financial) from the South African Heritage Resource Agency, Commonwealth War Graves Commission, South African Militay History Society and the Veterans Admin division of the SANDF, as well as some local Academics.
