Thank you Nanny Jan and Sandra.

Sandra, the Breakwater Convict Station intrigues me. Is there any.information that you have regarding why he was sent there? I also believe he was sent to the Valkenberg Hospital in Cape Town due to a drinking problem? My Grandfather (Wilfred Thomas Woulidge - don't have the names of his siblings unfortunately) used to visit him there, I am told. I also do not have access to the sites that you sent via link, unfortunately.

Good day

I would like to obtain more information regarding Jeremia Jacobus Petrus (Boy) Bosman. Born at Malmesbury on 3 March 1857 and baptised 5 April 1857 at Ceres. I have his marriage and death details. Is their any information regarding him participating in both or one of the two Boer Wars? Is there perhaps any other information regarding him?

Secondly, his youngest daughter Beatrix Dorothea Woulidge ne้ Bosman. She is my Grandmother. Is there any other information regarding her, other than birth, baptism and marriage? Date of death is 1983, don't have day or month.

Many thanks

Braam

Good day

I would like to get more information regarding Arthur Albert Mason Woulidge. Born April 1867, Radford, Nottinghamshire. Was "sent" (?) to South Africa. Why, when, how, etc would be appreciated. Criminal record? Secondly, did he participate in the Second Boer War? Any medals received? Any/all other information regarding him? He is my Step-Great Grandfather. Who were his parents and siblings, etc.

Thank you in anticipation

Braam

Thanks again, Nookie. I've tried the Salvation Army, however they have no records and don't have a maternity ward anymore.

I will try the Valkenberg hospital again, though. No details to date.

South Africa / Mary Rolt Hostel Mowbray
« on: Saturday 18 March 17 19:42 GMT (UK)  »
Beatrix Dorothea Bosman was living at the Mary Rolt Hostel in Mowbray, Cape Town, South Africa prior to giving birth to her son, Ian Neville Bosman.  She gave birth on 8 March 1934 at the Booth Memorial Hospital in Cape Town.  She herself was born on 18 June 1911 in Ceres, Cape Town.  She also worked at the Valkenberg Hospital, situated in Observatory, Cape Town.

I'm trying to find any information regarding her from any of these institutes, also with the aim of locating Ian Neville Bosman's biological father.

Palone could be Patone without the horizontal line. It was written by a police official; she was German and did he perhaps hear something else?  Therefore Palone, Patone or even Altona which is near Hamburg I believe.

Her surname, Haberer, I'm told is usually from the southern part of Germany.  Behm is usually from the Mecklenburg area.  Elizabeth was "formerly" Haberer on her son's birth certificate. Therefore previously married or maiden name?  She gave birth to her son at St Giles at Endell Street in 1903.  She was referred there from the French hospital.  Records there show she was single...? She claimed elsewhere to be married to George.

She was a cook and he a valet. I don't know whether he stayed in England. No census records show him.  He returned(?) his son in 1914 to England, from a German school. All very complicated...  Elizabeth seemed to remain in England from 1897 till her death in 1944.
