Hello,
Have not done any research in South Africa and need some advice on where to find records, or help finding any info on Walter Ducros bn Birmingham c1877
Couldnt find him on the 1901 census and thought it might be a misspelling of the surname.
His wife and 2 children are there.
Found them all plus additions to the family in the UK on the 1911 census with one daughter bn in a place listed as
BRONKHORSTPUIT, South Africa bn 1903 Possibly this is where he was in 1901 and his wife Elizabeth and the older children went out later.
They were bk in the UK after this as the next child was bn 1905 in South Shields.
Are there any shipping records or records for Bronthorstpuit, that would place them there and give an inkling as to what he was doing. In 1911 he`s listed as an Insurance representive.
Any help appreciated. Hinton.
