I have had a few inquiries about sources online. I found these two digitized books on googles book archive. You can follow the links or, to do your own search This is the The Cape of Good Hope and the eastern province of Algoa Bay from the 1840s. It has names and addresses from Eastern Cape Towns and lots of info. http://books.google.com/books? id=eVwqAAAAYAAJ&dq=algoa%20bay&pg=PA205#v=onepage&q=Port%20Elizabeth&f=false This is the 1877 Directory of PE which also has names and addresses. I found it very useful. http://books.google.com/books?id=4QEwAAAAYAAJ&pg=PP5&dq=1877+Port+Elizabeth+Directory&hl=en&sa=X&ei=BbHIUJDDIpHRigL3_oC4CQ&ved=0CC0Q6AEwAA Thanks, Shannon ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: moonshell <moonshell@gmail.com> Date: Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 11:32 PM Subject: Researching Vice, Cook, O'Reilly and Hamilton in PE 1870-1890 To: SOUTH-AFRICA-EASTERN-CAPE@rootsweb.com Hi, I am an Eggsa member overseas and am researching my family who lived in Port Elizabeth between 1873 and 1890 (approximately). The names of people I am interested in are: 1. Richard Hamilton b1826 - was Jetty Master in the latter 1870s. He is in the 1877 Directory living at *Pleasant Hill*. He had 3 children who died while they lived in PE - Anne Elizabeth b187_ and died in PE in early childhood, similarly William Hamilton b187_ and died in the 1870s. Possibly Isobel Hamilton (b1861 d. PE 1890s) I was wondering where they might be buried. 2. Jessie Cook who married an A O'Reilly in PE and had a daughter Louise O'Reilly in PE in 1879. Her husband died. 3. Jessie O'Reilly was living in Perkins Street when she remarried Mr Thomas Fairbridge Vice, a jobber from the UK around 1883. They had a daughter Catherine Jessie Vice b. 1884. Mr T.F Vice died in 1889. I was wondering if any of the PE Directories have information about Jessie Cook or the Vice family or if you could point me to resources to explore further. I have looked in the Eggsa gravestone directories, the online directories of PE and the Voters list of 1879. I have searched NAAIS and obtained estate files when available. Regards and thanks in advance for any suggestions. Shannon USA
