Wiltshire Lookup Requests / Re: JEFFERIES in Draycott Foliat, Chiseldon etc - and to South Africa
« on: Saturday 03 March 18 17:32 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Geoff
Did you get answers to your query about Wiliam Jefferies?  I am his great, great granddaughter (and have redhair!).
I am hoping to visit his and my great, grandmother's grave in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, in April.
Best wishes

William Alexander was apparently the first chairman of the Kadur Country Club in Karnataka.

Thanks that is interesting. I was about 4 or 5 when I met Aunt Beatrice - she travelled by Union Castle liner to Durban in South Africa to visit my grandfather, Her brother, David Onslow. I have a photograph of taken on her arrival with my father and I.

I am Beatrice Mitford's great neice. Her brother (my grandfather David Onslow Allardice) first travelled to South Africa as a volunteer in Lumsden's Horse which was a volunteer regiment of tea and coffee planters during the Boer War along with his brother Hugh (after whom my own father is named). Both David and Hugh made it back to India after the Boer War but I can find no record of what happened to Hugh after that.
