Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Grant-Dalton family
« on: Monday 27 August 12 17:27 BST (UK)  »
Hi
Sorry but can't help. It would appear our connections with the Eustace Foster Grant Dalton will remain a mystery that went to the grave with our great grandmother. Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck with your research.

Regards

Just a thank you to all who helped with our family search. We have finally ordered our great grandmother's estate details from Capetown archives but have hit a dead end with Mary Jessie Morton (nee Young). We contacted both the Soco, church and golf club but no leads. Ah well perhaps it isn't meant to be. Thank you again.

Thank you. I am so excited at your findings. If he only died in 1995 there may be some living relatives, possibly cousins for my dad. Thank you again. We'll start searching that line of enquiry now.

Thanks so much for your time. I have emailed the Cape Town Archives from the contact details on N.A.A.I.R.S to see if they can send me the document. I gave them the reference number from Ouma so I hope they will get back to me. I have read mixed reports as to how sucessful these requests can be. Hopefully I will hear back and yes I will drop in the information about Mary Jessie as well. Thanks for all the advice.

Regards

Hi
I was wondering if anyone can help us. We are trying to trace what happened to our great grandmother Jessie Mackay Grant-Dalton and her daughter Mary Jessie Young, born 1913 in Balerno, Edinburgh, Scotland. We know that they sailed to SA in 1938 and indicated that it was to be their permanent residence. I just can't find out anything more about them and don't know what to do next. Can anyne help point us in the right direction please.

Thanks

Thanks for your time. We have just discovered today that she went to Capetown with her mother in 1938. SO the search now continues in South Africa!
