But could you see if there is a Patterson or a C F Watson listed as Foresters at Hogsback?

Wow, thanks so much Nikki, this is the first time I have got anything about my great-great-grandfather Patterson, I do have him as J Patterson married Jenny (no surname), and came from Scotland. I think Katberg probably included Hogsback, so it sounds right. They had a daughter Mary, who married my great-grandfather Charles Frederick Watson who was also at Hogsback (found his name in the Forestry log book there). Their son, my grandfather, also Charles Frederick Watson, was born in about 1884 (I thought) and always told us he went to primary school at Hogsback – dates work in pretty well? Later the Watson’s moved to Thaba’nchu (Freestate) to start the forestry Plantations there. My mother’s was named Enid Boyd Watson and we never knew where the Boyd came from! Thanks so much, I am so grateful!
