Colls Family in Pretoria
« on: Wednesday 16 November 16 11:19 GMT (UK) »
I am searching for a Betty Osbourne Colls born Pretoria, South Africa, 1902, daughter of Arthur Stanley Colls and his wife Katherine Mary Elliott.  Arthur was born in Birmingham, Warwickshire, Katherine in Ceylon., two daughters Katherine Ciceley and Sylvia Beryl  born in Ceylon as well as their son Tom George born in Ceylon. That leaves daughter Betty Osbourne Colls born about 1902 in Pretoria. Would there be a birth/baptism date in Pretoria. Their other children were baptized C of E. in Ceylon. The parents married C of E in Ceylon.

Thank you gmauchan. I see that Betty was baptized on December 16 a public holiday which her parents used as a day to have her baptized. In 1902. Dingane’s Day, later Day of the Covenant, now Day of Reconciliation.
