HI Tombi Just a quick question ..is Thelia LEWIS part of the LEWIS family that marries into LOVE? James and Harriet Martha LEWIS with daughter Amy Sophia?* 12 Dec 1870 It is an area of our family that I have not even looked at. Thanks Cheri -----Original Message----- From: south-africa-eastern-cape-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:south-africa-eastern-cape-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Tombi Peck Sent: Monday, 10 December 2012 4:18 AM To: SAEC Subject: [ZA-EC] The children of Richard 'Allen' Knowlden TAINTON and Amy Mary Rachel LLOYD. Hi, At last I have been able to fill in a lot of gaps with the help of Ellen Stanton & Malcolm Stevens transcribing the lists of the Death Certificates in recent weeks. What would we do without the hard work of our fellow listers. I'm not going to try to list you all.....you know who you are and how much we appreciate your wonderful work. I'm delighted finally to have all the children listed correctly. I had though Averell was Avril and a girl! I thought Thelia's name was Thelma. I prefer Thelia. Aunt Dolly (Thelia Mary LEWIS from her second marriage to John Elias LEWIS) was obviously named after her infant sister. Best wishes, Tombi Peck

I don't think so Cheri. Thelia Mary LEWIS is my great grandmother's daughter from her second marriage to John Elias LEWIS after her first husband Richard 'Allen' Knowlden TAINTON died, She was my grandmother's half sister. She had a brother Reece Lewis who was married to a Roman Catholic Zoe Unknown and they had two children, Dawn who was about 9 months older than me and a son Patrick or Paddy LEWIS. Reece worked on one of the Anglo American mines in Welkom so Dawn and I went to school together at St. Agnes Convent, Welkom, for a couple of years. I think she went on to school at Eunice in Bloemfontein where I went to St. John's DSG in Scottsville, Pietermaritzburg for a couple of years before going on to Barnato Park (Johannesburg Girls' High School in September 1955 until I wrote matric there in December 1958. John Elias LEWIS was my great grandfather's sergeant in the Cape Mounted Police when my great grandfather died on the 20th November 1905 in Cathcart. Her youngest son Allen Knowlden Hart TAINTON was born on the 27th December 1905. She had very little option other than to marry again quickly as she had 5 children to support. At the time of her first husband's death her children were: Lesley was 16, Clo was 15 (they were training as pupil teachers), Reg was 13 and Ches 4 and Allen was an infant. Unfortunately I don't know the dates of birth of Telia Mary or Reece Williams LEWIS. John Elias LEWIS left the Cape Mounted Police (I don't know when) and became a miner in the Transvaal. I don't know where he worked when his children were small but when I was a teenager he was working on Marievale Mine near Nigel. Before that he may have worked on one of the mines in Springs as I can remember visiting her at a block of flats somewhere in Springs when I was at Pinegrove School in Springs which was before 1948 when we moved to St. Helena Gold Mine in Welkom.
