Try the National Archives of South Africa at http://www.national.archives.gov.za (cut and paste). There is a record for an Eliza Webber nee Neah (sic, could be a typo, looks as if she died in 1895).
Hope this helps,
John

Hi there - what is the information that you need? Do you the family before or after the marriage or both!! Eliza and William and a whole lot of other Webbers are are buried in the Old Cemetery in Grahamstown.
Do you have a death notice for her at all - this will list the children from that marriage.
Send me as much info as possible and I will see what I can find. I see that you have posted a message on the south african Mailing list which is a very good place to start!
Ruth
Apologies for the delay but I have been away for 2 weeks

hi June,
Have you had any contact with Kathryn Bax as she is researching the 1820 Webbers. I will send her a message to look at your posting and see if she can help. William Jervois at the museum in Grahamstown is also very helpful.
I will also contact a friend who is an expert in 1820 settlers.
Might not get back to you before christmas!
Ruth

Hi June
I have gone through my records and I haven't got a lot to offer I'm afraid.
This is all I have:
William NEAT 1820 Settler
.
William's occupation was a Labourer.
William was born in 1798.
William and Susan ?? were married.
William and Susan had the following children:
2. i. Jane NEAT Jane was born in 1820.
Now I assume there were other children, including Eliza, but I don't have this information.
I have looked through my Webber data and haven't any connections.
Sorry I couldn't have been more help.
Regards
Kathryn

Hi June,
there is now a transcription index of Mrs Nashs book on the net (see below) which also lists Williams age as 22 - eliza would have been born in 1814 so dont think this is her father! There were a number of Reeds but none that fit the bill - was she a spinster on the marriage cert?
Thanks
Ruth

June have you been in touch with William Jervois in Grahamstown at all?
Perhaps he has something in the archives.
