New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Grace Eliza Flatman
« on: Tuesday 22 August 23 13:16 BST (UK)  »
I see it's just over a month since so much help came to me for Grace and I just want to say that in that time I have found amazing families, some details going back over two hundred years and best of all came across another first cousin who was also looking for the same families.
So thank you again for all the advice and help.
 ;D ;D ;D ;D

I am bowled over with the amount of help and information you have all given me for the Flatman family.
This will keep me busy building up the family tree on this cold and wet Cape Town morning..
So thank you very much to Rosie99, Minnihaha and Lucy2  :-* :-* :-*

New Zealand Completed Requests / Grace Eliza Flatman
« on: Saturday 08 July 23 15:24 BST (UK)  »
Grace Eliza went to Australia and married Frederic Royston Nicholson. Then moved to New Zealand where her children were born. Other sites have a few sketchy details but nothing I can verify so far.
 She was born about 1893 in probably Essex and died in 1979 in Hamilton NZ. Any help or advice on how to obtain her death certificate or her parentage would be really appreciated.

The Common Room / Re: Officer of Leather?

Just to throw a spanner in the works I have an ancestor whose occupation on one census was 'Leather Currer' and on the next census it made more sense when his occupation was given as a 'Letter Courier'  ;D ;D

There was Stuttafords in Adderley street which opened about 1860. You could also try  "memories of Cape Town" on facebook.

South Africa / Valuation rolls
« on: Tuesday 08 September 20 14:43 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know of a site with a list of owners and occupiers of buildings in Cape Town similar to the valuation rolls in Scotlandspeople. Looking for 1940 - 1970.

Faster on the draw than me, Gadget. I was hoping to see if there was any resemblance in the two faces. She does look good considering the tragedy of all her children gone before her.
Sending a pm, thanks for the offer.
