"Gold Diggers News" & "Rand Nurseries"
« on: Sunday 05 June 05 11:25 UTC (UK) »
I know it is a very, very long shot, but has anyone heard of the "Gold Diggers News" and "Rand Nurseries" in South Africa - in the early 1900s?

Two of my great Uncles emigrated to South Africa in the early 1900's ( but later returned to the UK in the 1930s). Their surname was SUTTON (christian names Albert, George or Frederick). Very little is known of them - my late father could only remember the names of the firms they worked for. They originally came from the Holborn/Clerkenwell area of London. As yet I have found very little about them in the UK - and Sutton is a very common name!

Any suggestions of further places to search for information?

Many thanks
