Born in England in 1917 and went to Durban in 1919 with his father Henry John and mother Lena and died around 1980. Long lost brother of my late mother. Any links?

hi terry
welcome to rootschat , you should look in NAAIRS it is the national archive site for south africa on opening up the site look down the left hand side and click on search national automated archival information retrieval system on next page look for rsa and click on that then just fill in the names you have .
hope this helps

Thanks for that Harry - I have located his grave marker from that. He is in Stellawood Cemetery. I was hoping perhaps to get a contact at the cemetery whereby I might be able to verify his wife's or childrens' names.

Hi Terry
I am not sure if you are looking for the same person, I dont have all the family history but my grandfathers name was Walter William Weymouth. I know he had a sister by the name of Hayler (not sure of the spelling).
He died when I was young so dont know to much about him.

Hi Ryan,
So good to hear from you - I think your grandad is my Mum's brother. She was called Winifred Lena Mahala but was always known as Hala. She never saw Walter again after their mother died and she left S A in 1927. I would love to share much more detail with you. Could we swap emails.

Hi Ryan,
I think if you just put up another post and then click on the green icon to the left we can then chat in private and share emails. It would be great from here in New Zealand to do so. This has been a long search for me.

Then there is this one WEYMOUTH, WALTER WILLIAM DIVORCE CHERYL ELLEN WEYMOUTH BORN HILLS.Record held at TBD archive in the Transvaal, source RSC Volume number 5A/1004 system1 reference I1377/68 part1.
Looks like he divorced Margaret in 1967 remarried Cheryl and divorced her in 1968!!!
Found this NAB (Durban) source MSCE Vol No 0 System1 Reference 12896/1927 estate papers for WEYMOUTH, HENRY JOHN. (S/S WEYMOUTH, LENA). Hope this helps Derek.
