I found this on Rootsweb.
Does anyone have any info on a Farm called Newmarket in East Griqualand. It was a Hotel and racecourse owned by my Great great Grandfather Charles Albert Taylor, who was a pioneer of East Griqualand, he was a well known breeder of racehorses and a jockey, his son was the well known jockey Stanley Ballantyne Taylor. Newmarket was leased in 1922.

Any info on the farm, racecourse or family would be greatly appreciated.

Appears Georgina worked in the hotel.

Hi Pampoen
What is it you would like to know about Newmarket ?  Charles Taylor was my Great Grandfather, so we are related of course. I have quite a lot of info and photos of of the Taylors and family.
You can email me directly at umdloti@iafrica.com or reply here.
I will also be going out to the farm in the near future and could share some pics then and now with you.
