Scotland / Madgewick Family (sailing for South Africa late 1800-early 1900
« on: Friday 27 June 14 11:59 BST (UK) »
Unfortunately I'm not sure about the names of the parents since they died shortly after arriving in South Africa and the children were placed in an orphanage. Children names were William, John, Hannie, Christian, and more??? (the surname is now spelled Madgwick). Christian was my husband's grandfather, died in the early 1950s, and he mentioned having sailed from Scotland to South Africa. Is there anyone who can help with finding out more about this family?
