Thanks, Aghadowey. The health issue of a family member is looking a little better today so fingers crossed that trend continues.
I had an approximate birth year for Sarah Price (nee Flinn) from the 1901 census. Her age then was given as 13, so born around 1888. Can't access my home database from here, so I'm not sure whether or not I had confirmed that year with either her birth record or her age in the 1911 census.
Why William B Price came back at that time, it's hard to say, but visiting his mother would have been a good reason. His cousin, John Stanley Carter, a minister, returned to the UK for with his wife and sons in the 1950s for a visit, but I can't remember which year it was. John's mother, Frances Grace Stanley Carter (nee Price) also appeared on a passenger list coming or going to South Africa, but she was just visiting her son. John's family group appear on a passenger list visiting England. When he died in South Africa sometime later, John's will named four sons, who are possibly all still living so shall remain unnamed here.
The Moira Park address for William Price on the passenger lists suggests that someone in the family was still living there while the youngest William Price was in South Africa. It looks like they moved to Moira Park from Seacliffe road in 1942/43. I wonder if the Flamingo dance hall was one of the Gorse Lodge group's entertainment enterprises.
