Buckinghamshire Completed Look ups / Re: Frederick Craft
« on: Friday 10 April 15 15:10 BST (UK)  »
There is  Frederick Charles Craft born 11/1/1874 at Gt. Missenden    Bucks.  Father George and mother Ellen.
Perhaps Frederick was a son of a former marriage and not son of Ruth.

South Africa / Re: Outspan Journal/newspaper

Thank you for your reply and interest.
I have a slight connection to the wife of Reginald and had found the marriage. The couple divorced subsequently and Elizabeth nee Hill returned to England with her two sons.
The belief in the family was that Reginald was the Editor of The Outspan and I wondered if this was right.
As a child I have seen copies of this Journal

Thanks for your email about the troubles in South Africa.  I remember growing up and hearing about much of it on the news  ,it must have been a nightmare to live through. I can particularly remember the Soweto  massacres and the incarceration of Nelson Mandela and his subsequent release.
Hopefully much has improved now and will continue to do so.

Thank you  fastfusion  and pampoen for your prompt replies.

The information you gave fastfusion was very interesting but certainly very controversial  and extremely nasty. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the link pampoen  . I now have two links that will keep me busy !

South Africa / Outspan Journal/newspaper
« on: Friday 20 March 15 16:35 GMT (UK)  »
I am enquiring whether anybody remembers a publication called the  Outspan during the 1930 /40s published I think in Bloemfontein O F S.
I have someone connected to the paper called Reginald Jabez Rigby and would like to know is he was to do with publishing or editing it.

I will be grateful for any information at all.

Suffolk / Re: Sarah Coles nee Simson - born ca 1799 - where?
« on: Thursday 29 January 15 09:19 GMT (UK)  »
I would think the Lackford Sarah is the correct one the, Latchford Sarah seems wrong on two counts date of birth and place.

Good luck and hope the tree owner responds.

I think you are right about Lackford. There is a second tree on Ancestry which says she was born in Lackford.
I live in Suffolk and have never heard of a Letchford in Suffolk nor can I find one on a map.
Lackford on the other hand is on the edge of Thetford Forest, Suffolk.

There is a tree on ancestry that gives Sarah's birth in 1801 in Letchford Suffolk.
Certainly one of the census looks like Letchford.
