Hi Jan,

What year and whereabouts? What age was the father (to give an idea when to expect the son's birth to have occurred)?

All the best,

AndrewP

sorry Andrew
i am sort of grapsing at straws , i know the death notice says George H arived in Kimberly as a young man in 1896 ,
he retired in 1946 he died ? 9th Feb ? aged 83 years ,
he worked on the diamond fields advertiser , more or less all the time apart from a 18th break when he went to CapeTown
he had 2 Daughters a Mrs W Frankilin and Mrs J Hiles , cant find anything on these 2 either ,
opps he was the night time foreman ( printer ) wrote a piece on Edward 7th 1910 ,
only says born in Scotlanf no more

this was the only one i could get that sounded close , but when i look the 1868 births i cant get a harrison as the middle name , the other was 1871 a 3 year old in the poorhouse , which tells us nothing again , as for age all i have is a young man in 1896 , tells us nothing really , but this man seemed to be in right employment
