Have you seen this blog? http://www.archivalplatform.org/blog/entry/cultural_identity/ If you go to the bottom where the comments are there is a comment from Barry Short who says that the same woman is his grandmother? I know it's from 2011 but hope it helps :) -----Original Message----- From: south-africa-eastern-cape-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:south-africa-eastern-cape-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Vanessa Maddox via Sent: 25 January 2015 08:54 PM To: south-africa-eastern-cape@rootsweb.com Subject: [ZA-EC] King family in the Eastern Cape H list I am searching for any information on the King family in the Ngqeleni area and in particularly the family of Sarah Fynn nee King born Ngqeleni 1888 died Durban 1971. She is my great grandmother. I have her death notice which gives her race as coloured and her father’s name Fred King. Her mother according to her daughters is Charlotte James born in Scotland and her siblings Ben, Charlotte and Ellen(of whom I have no information at all). Her surviving daughters say she would tell them the story of being descended from a little girl shipwrecked near Lambazi who married into a Xhosa clan. Her grandmother was definitely a coloured lady, who a family source names as Patience Tshomane and her grandfather an Englishman John Henry King, who had 7 sons and 3 daughters, however this same family source names her father as Moses which is confusing. I am really interested in trying to resolve this conundrum and find out any other information on this family. I have a wealth of informati! on on the Fynn family but sadly nothing on the King family or Charlotte James who my great Aunt thinks may have been a Wesleyan missionary.
