Passenger list c 1894-1898
« on: Thursday 24 April 08 10:33 BST (UK) »
Hi List,

Does anybody have access to passenger arrivals to Cape Town around c1894-1898

Barbara McPherson born Scotland married Robert Alexander Anderson [d.o.b etc unknown] his occupation was a was a tailor.

They were married Cape Town, South Africa. Barbara was supposed to be 20 years old.

1898 they are in Calcutta/ Bombay India for he birth of my relative Elizabeth Barbara Anderson born 30 June 1898 [one document says Calcutta the other Bombay] Bengal, India
Why would a tailor be in South Africa and India in that period?

Look forward to any ideas.
Suzy

WOW!!!!

Thank you so very very much! I have spent 15 years trying to resolve this family and bingo from a few hours on rootschat.

 They all [except Robert Alexander the father and son Frederick] ended up immigrating to New Zealand in 1922.

Now the question is why would they have been married in Cape Town South Africa.......or were they..... as they had a child in Edinburgh?Huh

Could you look and see if Barbara's father George McPherson was in the Army for me please, he was born 1844
R & C Scotland.
Never been able to find him from 1881 on either,  I did find a possible death for his wife.... ONLY.....yesterday on board 'Saint Margaret'  merchant shipping list from Liverpool.
Thank you so very much again, what a team!

Would there be a Colin Anderson b circa 1909 and a Sheila Anderson born c 1911-12 that then will give me all the family and more clues as to when they returned to Eng /Scotland.

Would Robert Alexander have died in India?

Thank you so much for your time and expertise
