Essex / Re: Baylis(s) /Fortescue

To all who kindly replied to my earlier (2015 ) post regarding the Bayliss family.
Please accept my sincere apologies for not acknowledging your responses.
Unfortunately family circumstances meant that my family history research had to suddenly
come to a full stop.  However I am back and promise to do better this time !!
Thanks again  Jill

Essex / Baylis(s) /Fortescue
« on: Monday 21 August 17 12:51 BST (UK)  »
My grandfather Charles Thomas Bayliss inherited a family plate of the Fortescue family.
The image of the crest on the plate is of a heraldic tiger supporting with his right forepaw
a plain silver shield. Surrounding this is the Fortescue motto - Forte Scutum Salus Ducum.
I would be interested to hear from anyone who may have any knowledge of a connection
between the two families.

South Africa / Re: Emily Jane Bayliss born 1870 Prittlewell, Essex.

Hi Serving Wench. Thank you for your very quick response. I hardly had time to drink my coffee!
   Yes I did know that Emily and Arthur died many years ago and I think that both girls have also died.  Their married names were Elaine Catherine Wyndham and Amy Edna O'Brien. Found this out
a few years ago doing some initial research.
     I wonder if you could tell me where I might look to find out if there are any living descendants of the two girls.
     As a matter of interest the information I have came in a letter from one of the girls in Standerton to my aunt in 1922 saying how surprised she was to have relatives in England.

 Emily emigrated to South Africa between 1891 - 1899.  She married Arthur William Gibson, a British subject from Graaff Reinet, by special licence  in October1899. the marriage was registered in Durban.  They had two daughters  Elaine Catherine and Amy Edna who attended a girls school in Pietermaritzburg.
 Any family history of the above would be most welcome.
