Hi Elizabeth, I se that nobody has replied to your request. I have tried to but cannot make head or tail of what you are asking. What is AOB? Do you mean Anglo-Boereoorlog? How does a person arrive after the war with his family but have ? two sons killed in it. Try again, set the request out logically, use capitals for surnames and perhaps someone will be able to help. If you want to ask the question in Afrikaans and I will translate for you if you want me to.

Stanley 1 Good Afternoon All, I have been trying to find a lead on this Stanley family group. The father should be JR Stanley ? away after the AOB but before 1917 x LHM Groenewald???? Although they lived in Cape Town all their lives. When he arrive in the Cape is also not know. They had 7 or 8 children. Unsure if it 4 Males and 3 Females or the opposite. There is a possibility that one of the daughters did return to England. At least two of the sons were killed in the AOB. Then In Naairs I found a Uncle/brother TT Standley which gave his wife as JW. Uniondale?? His Father was a R Stanley Mother I Stanley Which does not correspond although the children names does. It was mentioned that the father family was hardly debated on. One of this family group has built a house in phases in Hout Bay called Salamander ?? Search result Whaling and a Tin Mine. I have a photo of a part of this house which was totally square and look like stone was used with a small bridge on the corner. Any suggestion?

Good Morning David, Regret, wrote the query in bullet format from thouhts. I searched for information in PMB on Stanley families and founded 3 groups of families.I took notice of one familie which was murdered by the natives except one son Joseph c. 1820 . Jospeh R STANLEY x Louisa H M GROENEWALD Date??? They had 7 or 8 children but informal sources cann`t say if it was 4 sons & 3 daughters /4 daugthers & 3 sons. I have no details on them. Can anyone help? They lived in the Cape. Kind regards Elizabeth
