Thanks Brian, Not a lot you say,- I think there is loads. To think that for the last 2 years I didn't know what had happened to Charles Levi Scott as I only had his birth details and then he'd disappeared. Now, in the last 2 weeks I have found out he lived in South Africa, that he had a wife and child and now, thanks to you, I know his address. I thank you so much. Can I be cheeky and ask you or other listers a few more questions. What does 'In COP' mean next to his marriage? Where should I go from here to trace his wife and daughter? Again, thanks for your help and time. I am finding out for sure that the Cape Town list is a really nice and helpful list.
