Hi Steve

There are numerous TWIGG's listed in the National Archives.  I think you may have to be a bit more specific on the names you are looking for in order to get a response.

Good Luck

You can order pics of the Death Notices if you use the services of eGSSA - another sticky topic at the top of the board.

The SOURCE = MOK is the eastern Cape region and will include the Kimberley area.

Hi Steve.
This a heck of a long shot I know but better than nothing. I knew an Ian Twigg who worked for a company called Wispeco in Durban, back in the late sixties early seventies. He lived in a suburb called Montclair and was married with a couple of children. He was an accountant. The name Twigg is not all that common in this neck of the woods so there may be a connection. Anyway good luck with your research.
Best Wishes
Ray

If you look on Facebook you can search Peter or Beverley Twigg. I was at school with Peter who,lived in Montclair.
