Title: Harry Roles South Africa Chief Sanitary Inspector in Jo.berg
Post by: Black Sheep on Tuesday 10 June 14 22:02 BST (UK)
Looking to find anything about Harry Roles or the Roles Family who emigrated to South Africa.

Born 1872 Manchester, he lived in Cheadle Cheshire until 1902 then I know no more, so I guess he was then bound for South Africa.

Wife Alice Marriage in 1896, children Alice and Hilda

I am sorry for the delay in thanking you, just re-visiting my research again.

I have found photographs of the graves https://billiongraves.com/grave/Harry-Roles/3529818 it amazing to see the photographs from South Africa that I never thought I would see when I first started off researching

The two girls Hilda born (In Barton I Manchester) b 1900 and Alice b 1898 I guess staying and married in South Africa, how would I find out where to search for this information ?

Have you tried this FamilySearch database?
https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/location/1927115?region=South%20Africa

From it-
South Africa, Transvaal, Civil Marriages, 1870-1930
https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2727134

There’s a marriage for an Alice ROLES to Fred SMITH in 1923. Both born in England.
