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

Hi Justjan:

I'll grasp at straws along with you ...

There is a George H. Stewart in the IGI for the 1881 census, living in London, age 5. Perhpas the family lived there for awhile, then returned to Scotland?

Have you looked at the census for Scotland, prior to his leaving for Africa?

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
