    1. [SOUTH-AFRICA-CAPE-TOWN] Pickersgill family in Cape Town between 1870 and 1897
    2. angela middleton
    3. I am looking for this family who were from England.  John Pickersgill and his wife Mary Jane (formerly Orange).  They may have married in Cape Town as I have been unable to find a marriage in England.  Their children were born in Cape Town, Ethel in 1874,  Maud 1878 Harry 1879, (I have Harry's baptism certificate from St.Mary's Woodstock).  Mary and the children left Cape Town on the SS Nubian in 1882 and I believe a fourth child was born on the voyage back to London and named Nuby after the ship.   John stayed on in Cape Town and died there in 1897.  I would like to know if a marriage took place in Cape Town, whether the other children were baptised in St. Mary's Woodstock, and what happened to John between the years 1882 and 1897.  Did he start another family?  I believe there was a Pickersgill descendent in Cape Town listed in the phone book in 1997.  Is this a desendent of John?   Any help much appreciated.  Angela.
