Shelton Family South Africa
« on: Saturday 17 September 11 09:33 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any information on the Shelton family that lived in Pretoria. My great grandfather was James Ernest Shelton. He had a sister Alice Elizabeth Shelton who married William Alfred Beeby and had a daugher Beryl Elizabeth Beeby. They lived on 'Shelty' farm in the Brits area. Any information would be appreciated as I don't know who James Shelton's parents were.

Hi,

Thanks for you reply. James Ernest Shelton was my great grandfather. I would be interested in the particulars of the case and what transpired between the two men as James's sister was married to William Alfred Beeby.

Thanking you,
Regards
Claire
