Hello
Does anyone know how I can find a Birth Record for a Cecil Pearce born 8th March 1901 or 1902 father Walter Pearce. Family moved to SA from England mid 1890s and back to England about 1905.
Many thanks
Liz

There's a claim for compensation in the Transvaal in 1903 (did your Walter move to the Transvaal and was he forced to leave as a foreigner at the outbreak of the Boer War? if so this might be his:)
DEPOT TAB SOURCE RAD TYPE LEER VOLUME_NO 176 SYSTEM 01 REFERENCE 4546 PART 1 DESCRIPTION CLAIM FOR COMPENSATION (WITWATERSRAND AREA). WALTER PEARCE. STARTING 1903 ENDING 1903
The document is in the Transvaal archives and you would need a local researcher to find it and copy it, unless you can persuade the archive to send you a copy themselves.
Best wishes
Geoff

Hi Geoff,
Many thanks for your reply and the information. My sincerest apologies for the late reply, but my PC has recently died on me and I am only now catching up with my new PC. Also been on holiday.
So thanks again and sorry again.
Regards,
Brian
