Hi Carol, >From Ellen's Stantons Transcripts on our list 2002 PE births: Methodist Parish Records: Port Elizabeth #10 The father Joseph: Entry #644 Child: Joseph MEW Parents: William James and Luis? Blanche Born: 7/21/1881 Baptized: 8/14/1881 Very odd that a John Maxwell MEW was mentioned as aged 16 in 1950 here in Australia(on thursday 2nd) as being killed by fumes...he would have been born circa 1934: , Thurs: Sixteen-year-old John Maxwell Mew, of Homebush, collapsed and died last night soon after inhaling benzol fumes. When he returned home from work with green paint on his arms, hands and face, he asked his mother for kerosene to remove it, but she had none. He then went to a shed where he found a bottle of benzol, and rubbed it on the paint marks. A few seconds later he cried out that he had petrol in his eyes, and then collapsed. His father rushed him to a doctor. He was taken to hospital, but died soon after. See http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/80830512?searchTerm=%20maxwell%20mew&searchLimits= maybe they moved?
