Your grandfather was previously married to a Thelma Helen Tuson, who then, I think, went on to marry a Rogers.  She divorced him in 1921.  Their son was John Eric Hoy, and it appears he married a Dorothy Carol Arnold McCartney and lived in Australia.

Have you ordered the estate file for your grandfather from eggsa yet? It would give an indication of whether Eileen/Ellen was still alive in 1965.

Sorry that was badly phrased :(  Thelma divorced John in 1921.

Hi there

Unfortunately what is online only goes as far as 1960 so can't get a look at the estate file.

Nookie- we do know that she was still alive in 1965 from the above info that 3SD found a few days ago.

I saw that, but by the time I had scrolled down I had forgotten it already. Sometimes I amaze myself with my own stupidity.  ::)

You're all in good company ;D ;D ;D

Hubby died in Transvaal, but Kevin has info that Ellen/Eileen did in PMB, can't find anything in the usual places.

Good day to you all,
The information regarding my grandfather's marriage to Thelma Tuson is very interesting although that didnt seem to last too long. It is now obvious that this marriage took place in SA aswell and John Eric Hoy (my father's step brother) was born before my father.

The most important and unsolved information relates to Ellen Elisabeth Hoy...where and when she was born, and who were her mother and father. Did they immigrate to SA and from where and when.

Hopefully with all the additional information gathered, we will eventually get answers. 

I will attempt to order the estate file for John Hoy, my grandfather from eggsa today.
