So, the plot thickens with yet more possibilities. Didn't check him; just did Monica's parents etc.  I'll have a look at this - thanks.

Meant to add that South Africa does not keep census records - except for a very few.  They are all destroyed after the data has been extracted.  The data kept does not include names or anything of relevance to anyone doing family research

Marriage certificates do not give the parent's names unless, by chance, they were witnesses to the wedding and even then it is a bit of a guess as they could be siblings!

Thanks for that, Nookie. Have learnt a lot doing this SA research which is one of the good things about genealogy.

Here is a list of baptisms at Cradock for various Dickens children.  Not sure whether they were Nellie's siblings or not.  Not sure where you live, but I think you can order the microfilm through your closest familysearch centre, or maybe your local library.  Unfortunately these have not been scanned yet.

Thanks, Nookie. These certainly look promising. I do have the actual baptismal register cert for Nellie.
