South Africa Search
« on: Saturday 21 March 15 08:05 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for some pointers as I have never done any searches in South Africa before. I am looking for Elizabeth Wilkinson who was I think living in Cape Town or Fish Hoek in 1954

I think she may have been born in Cape town around 1932

Any advice appreciated

Ken

Click on this link http://www.national.archsrch.gov.za/sm300cv/smws/sm300dl?20150322020300C4DD2F5B then select RSA then type Wilkinson Elizabeth and then search.

I found 115 results. One problem if she married then you need her married surname to find her.

Thanks pampoen much appreciated. I don't know if Elizabeth married but she did have a child in 1954 I think out of wedlock whom she gave up for adoption.
