[extract] ... There is a Harold Staveley Armstrong who was born in Leeds, his birth registered in the first quarter of 1885. There are various possible travel records to and from South Africa but at least some of them relate to a different man of the same age, a Harold Simon Armstrong (wine merchant) whose wife was Sutu Alfreda, so beware of that.
Hi: I have just found this input which was posted in January 2014. I am interested in the other Harold Armstrong i.e Harold Simon Armstrong, wine merchant, with South African connections and his wife Sutu Alfreda (nee Cory, I suspect strongly). Please could you tell me the source of your information? Many thanks indeed.
