Good morning Is there any chance that you can help me to find details of my grandfather. I think he was Vincent Sylvester Hastings and lived in Port Elizabeth. He died sometime in the 1950's. He was born in Ireland and came to SA early in the 1900's but I don't have his date of birth or death and would like to find the family tree. He had 4 children Noel Hastings Smith, Georgina Hastings Allen, Hazel Hastings Wynn, Vincent Vardella Hastings all of whom are deceased. When we were down in Port Elizabeth we tried to find his grave but did not succeed. I would appreciate your help so much Regards Patti Hanley (Hastings)
