South Africa / Re: Parents/Sister of Mary Elizabeth Campbell
« on: Friday 16 November 18 13:51 GMT (UK)  »
Yes I'm a descendant of Charles Freemantle Goulding and Mary Elizabeth Campbell. There was a family anecdote about her father being a Donald Campbell, who headed up the gaol in PE or EL after arriving from Scotland, but it may not be accurate. I agree, with those names you may have identified a grandson.

Thanks Nookie that confirms that Mary Elizabeth had different parents to Bridget Elizabeth. Ill so some more digging into Mary. There is a Mary Elizebeth listed as a child of one of the 1820 settlers but I think sue was born too early for it to be the same one.

Thanks. That connection with Bridget Isabella is what I've relied on in the past, but there isnt any supporting info for whether Bridget Isabella is a sibling of Mary Elizabeth. That's what I'm really trying to establish.

South Africa / Parents/Sister of Mary Elizabeth Campbell
« on: Thursday 15 November 18 15:36 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all, I have the DN of an ancestor, Mary Elizabeth (Campbell) Goulding, died
May 07, 1929 in Kroonstad, and an approximate birth date from that of 1869 (perhaps Whittlesea). Would anyone be able to find out anything about her parents (tentatively Joseph Thomas Campbell and Bridget (Holton)Campbell) and sister (possibly Bridget Isabella (Campbell) Blane. I'd merged the tree I'd compiled with another based on some possible duplicates, but in hindsight we've decided it was not necessarily accurate, so we've "detached", and are each trying to find evidence....Any help would be appreciated.

South Africa / Re: Help with Locating a record in Rhodesian Death Registers

Yes I wrote that. My other grandfather put together quite a comprehensive booklet on the family which has served as a base. And my mother, who is still alive, has filled in some of the gaps.

His spouse Ivy Frances Callcott Stevens died in Bulawayo in 1977. Perhaps his death had to be noted in Rhodesia for some reason, and this was just that. I'd still like to get a copy of the record though, as I haven't been able to track down his South African Death Notice.

I've located a record for my grandfather Victor Aylen Callcott Stevens in the Rhodesian Death indexes. However I'm unable to locate the source from the reference it gives ("Misc 1971"). Can anyone help me with this?

England / Dr John Bolus/Dr Conquest
« on: Friday 19 October 18 16:38 BST (UK)  »
Hi all, perhaps someone can help. I have a Dr John Bolus b 1775 Shropshire, married to Suzannah Crisp, at the top of my tree. Apparently he was the cousin of a well-known London doctor, a Dr Conquest. From my searchings it looks as if that was either Dr George Conquest of his son Dr John Tricker Conquest 1789 1866. Would anyone be able to confirm the family connection between Bolus and Conquest?
