Joan/Johann Marshall nee Laing

[Jatd]

Joan/Johan Marshall nee Laing emigrated to Natal South Africa on 10 September 1925 with her 3 Children;
Georgina Marshall Born 1920
Johan Marshall Born 1921
William Laing Marshall Born 1923.
Joan/Johan Marshall's Husband was my Uncle and he was killed in Fife in 1924.

She emigrated with her Parents John and Georgina Laing and her Brother John Born 1908.

I would like to know what happened to Joan and her Family after they emigrated and if anyone has any information I would be most grateful.

Many Thanks
Joy

Hi there,
I have looked at the records that i have access to and can only find a record for a John Murray Laing that died in 1964 and is buried in Stellawood cemetery aged 56. I then looked in Naairs and see that his death notice reference states John Murray Laing b in Scotland, Surviving spouse May Laing b Poulter.
Unfortunately I could find nothing on any of the other members of the family
You could apply for his death notice - see sticky at the top of this board - and you may find out more.
Please be aware that this forum has a restriction for searching for living members so be cautious what you post.
Have a lovely day:)
Ruth

PS Although they disembarked in Durban, they may have been en route inland... Free State, Transvaal or even Rhodesia.

Hi Ruth

Many thanks for replying.

John Murray Laing is her Brother.

A tree on Ancestry has William Laing Marshall Born 1923 died 1982 Dundee KwaZula Natal. (The Father John Laing was a Miner).

Where would I find the records for Dundee KwaZula?

I would just like to know what happened to Joan/Johann Marshall nee Laing.

I understand the restriction re searching for Living Relatives. My main concern is my uncles wife.

Many thanks again

Joy

Hi again - Did John Laing have a second name at all? If I can find a death notice for him, it may have his daughter on it.
Unfortunately data is so limited in South Africa. My cemetery info does not have Dundee burials.

Yes he had a middle name it was John Murray Laing(same as son) he was Born 1878 in Scotland.

His wife was Georgina (Bannerman) Laing (Bannerman was her Maiden Name and sometimes she used it as middle name) she was born 1863-1868 year of birth varied!!

Many thanks again
