South Africa / Shelton Family - Beaufort West
« on: Monday 07 December 15 17:51 GMT (UK)  »
Desperately searching for any information on a James (we think) Shelton and Agnes (maiden name unknown) - parents of James Shelton (born 1879/1883) in Beaufort West. James Shelton married Elizabeth Katrine (Katherine) Francis.  :-\

Absolutely nothing to find on James Shelton and Agnes (?) and where they came from.

Also seeking information on parents of Elizabeth Francis - Thomas Francis and Elizabeth (?). I think Thomas Francis's parents may have been Frederick Francis and Catherine Forbes.

Any information appreciated.
Thank you.
