South Africa / Searching for information on John Scott Cruickshank
« on: Monday 30 November 15 00:09 GMT (UK) »
My great uncle John Scott Cruickshank also known as Jack was born 11 March 1872 in Scotland. He died in 1902 in Dundee Natal South Africa. Family lore has it that he was a diamond miner with two other men, possibly brothers from Aberdeen, Scotland. I have searched for his outbound ship record and have been unable to locate it. I am looking for any information on when he may have immigrated and his cause of death. I am also curious to know if it is true he had an interest in a diamond mine.
