    2. Craig Hilton-Taylor
    3. Hi Nikki Many thanks for posting this sad news - Lady Margaret was a truly wonderful and amazing person who will be much missed. She was born Margaret Helen BAINES - the daughter of Colin Cuthberts BAINES and Helen BUDDEN. She was born in 1910 in Kimberley in the Cape and died on 01 Nov 1912 in Ilminster, Somerset, England. Best wishes Craig -----Original Message----- From: Nikki Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2012 8:15 PM To: south-africa-eastern-cape@rootsweb.com Subject: [ZA-EC] Margaret Tredgold obituary Margaret Tredgold obituary http://www.guardian.co.uk My friend Margaret Tredgold, who has died aged 102, gave service to the people of Zimbabwe that bridged generations and transcended the race divide. One of seven sisters, Margaret grew up in the South African country town of Aliwal North. One of her earliest memories was of watching the stagecoach, with armed outriders, passing in a cloud of dust at sunset, taking diamonds to Johannesburg. After school, she qualified as an art teacher and moved to Zimbabwe, then Southern Rhodesia, to take up a teaching post. Marriage to Bill Phear, a lawyer, in 1934 marked a turning point: she became a Zimbabwean citizen and her love affair with the country's flora began. Margaret began making watercolour portraits of the flowers, and the 1953 edition of Robert Martineau's Rhodesian Wild Flowers was illustrated with her paintings. They caught the eye of Sir Robert Tredgold, president of the National Museum, who had been instrumental in the publication of the book. After the deaths of their respective spouses, Margaret and Robert married in 1974, united by a common interest in the flora and folklore of Zimbabwe. Together they researched the roots of Zimbabwe's folk tales, publishing many as illustrated children's books. Her research led Margaret to believe that Aesop's fables had their origins in Africa. Margaret wrote and illustrated local African fables and a range of Bible stories to be used in schools and sold at low cost. Later, when grandchildren came along, she would write up their favourite stories for them. She was a wonderful storyteller and they loved to listen to her. After Robert's death in 1977, Margaret finished their project on edible plants, with Food Plants of Zimbabwe appearing in 1986. A set of Zimbabwean stamps, issued in 2001, depicted six of her butterfly paintings. Other sets she illustrated featured Christmas celebrations and African folk tales for children. In 2004 political unrest forced Margaret to leave her homeland of 70 years and relocate to Britain. One son, Patrick, predeceased her. She is survived by her son Stephen, who still lives in Zimbabwe, daughter, Shirley, eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. No virus found in this outgoing message.
