My privilege Tombi. Did you notice Averell Robert Allen de Lisle Tainton in the Komga 1900 records? Not sure of the spelling. regards Malcolm On 2012/12/09 09:13 AM, Tombi Peck wrote: > Whoooeee!!!

Wow. I had the name as Avril and thought it was a female. Fantastic hearing all those familar names gathered together! I've been plodding through the Komgha list you suggested but it keeps cutting out. May I be cheeky and ask if you know the number applicable to Averell's name....I'd love to add the information into the file. It's been such an exciting day.... best wishes, Tombi Peck ----- Original Message ----- From: "Malcolm Stevens" <malcolm.stevens@upcmail.nl> To: <south-africa-eastern-cape@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2012 10:43 AM Subject: Re: [ZA-EC] Index to Cape Civil Death Notices - Komgha 1896 > My privilege Tombi. > > Did you notice Averell Robert Allen de Lisle Tainton in the Komga 1900 > records?
