    1. [ZA-EC] Researching Vice, Cook, O'Reilly and Hamilton in PE 1870-1890
    2. moonshell
    3. 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
