South Africa / Re: Looking for James Jeremiah Harrington

Hi! Thank you so much for this. This could have been him:

HARRINGTON, Mr. J.
Sailed from: Southampton
Destination: Natal
on the passenger list of the U.S.S. Co's S.S. PRETORIA,
departing from Southampton on 27 Jan 1881,
bound for Cape Town, Algoa Bay, East London, Natal,
Source: British Mail 01 Apr 1881
transcribed by: Trisha McLeod.

He would have been 29 if this was the case a bit old but still plausible as his first child was born only in 1885

South Africa / Looking for James Jeremiah Harrington
« on: Monday 18 December 17 08:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Everyone,

I am looking for more details on my paternal grandfather James Jeremiah Harrington. According to what info I could find he emigrated to South Africa from Country Cork but I have no dates on this. Here he married a Sarah Magdalena Noortman and their son was John Garret Harrington who was born in 1902 in SA. He went on to marry a Christina Stella De Klerk and My father Nico Peter Harrington was the second last child from this marraige before her death in 1953. So far some community members have managed to find some info on her but not much on my grandfather. I attached her death notice as FYI if it will help.

Anything would help as I am trying to find the birth dates of my Great grandfather or any records of his existence in Ireland before he emigrated to SA.

thank you!

South Africa / Looking for info on Harrington family.

I have been searching for info on our ancestry for years but have never had the resources to do so. I am desperate to find out more and to see if we have family in the UK that we have perhaps lost touch with.

What I do know is that my paternal grandfather was John Garett Harrington born in 1902 in South Africa. He had several kids with an Afrikaans woman. Any info would help! Thanks!
