Lancashire / Town of Ormsbee?
« on: Wednesday 10 January 18 12:58 GMT (UK)  »
I am tracing a man who was described in a newspaper notice about his marriage as being from "Ormsbee, Lancashire". He was born in about 1850 and was married in 1875. I cannot find a place with that that name now. Was there a town with that name in the nineteenth century that has changed since? Would appreciate any help.

South Africa / Assisted immigration to Cape Town 1867
« on: Friday 20 October 17 01:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Could someone please look up for me the book by Esme Bulls about aided immigration from Britain to South Africa in the years 1857 to 1867.

I have found John and Sarah WILLIAMS in Cape Town in the first few months of 1867. Sarah had a baby then and I am trying to work out whether they had recently arrived from England and whether they were on their way to another part of the Cape Colony.

Any help greatly appreciated because SA resources are hard to find where I live in Australia.
