Siege of Kimberley
« on: Friday 21 March 14 11:07 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone know if there's a list of people resident in Kimberley at the time of the Anglo-Boer War siege?
Thanks

Thank you both, good to know there was a census taken.
Outside of the various sieges and those interned in concentration camps, I wonder how much mobility there was for the everyday populace - or was everybody more or less stuck in their communities for the duration?
