Immigrant help!

[littlefacey]

Hello!

Im looking for a family who left England for South Africa but i dont know where to start looking?!

I know they travelled from Durban to Southampton in 1960. I googled the wifes names and it came up on a website (http://www.identitynumber.org/2008-surname-results.php?surname=BUNCE) so i know the mother at least passed away in SA.

Is there anywhere i can search for BMD's? or newspaper records?

The family in question is

Arthur Frederick Bunce b. 1910 London
Helen Vilma Johanna Stockitt b. 1921 ?
David Peter Bunce b. 1947 Hendon, Middlesex
Mary Ann Bunce b. 1951
Alan John Bunce b. 1956


Any help would be great!

Thank you

Arthur died on 8/3/1979 and Helen died on 17/8/2011.  Unfortunately neither of their estate files are on line as yet. They both died in the Cape.  If you send me a pm with your email address I will send you the details of their estates and who you could order copies from.

Thank you Nookie!  I see that Arthur either owned a company at 5b regent street in Sea Point... do you know how i could find out what sort of business he had?


Thank you

I think I've found the passenger slip for them leaving the UK for South Africa in 1950.  Do you have that?  If not, I can email it to you if you PM me your email.
