Hi Brian Yes, I have checked FamilySearch, both indexed items and images. I have the marriage of Sarah Ann and also the baptism of Ellen Edith. We've found all the other children too and I've been to the archives and taken photos of all the estate files for the family. It was when I found Ellen Edith's baptism that we discovered that her father wasn't who we thought it was so now the challenge is to find out about Edward Charles and his wife Annie.

He was married to Annie (?) and four of their six children Alice Elizabeth, Edward Charles, John William and Harriet Laura were baptised in King Williamstown. I have found no baptism for Sarah Ann who was born in about 1869. In 1881 the family was living in Cape Town and Edward Charles snr was a constable. He died on 4 May 1881 and was buried at St George's on 6 May 1881. Cannot find information on how he came to be in South Africa - did he join the military here or elsewhere? Where was he from? I am trying to find out Annie's maiden name and where she was from. She remarried in 1883. Her death was on 15 July 1915 but, this is unconfirmed. It is possible that she died in Natal as this is where Sarah Ann was married. We have estate files for most of the family members. Any information would be most welcome Regards Elaine ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SOUTH-AFRICA-EASTERN-CAPE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ----- No virus found in this message.
