Hello Bavarian

I tried looking up Henrietta for you but there is nothing at the Cape Town Archives.

Nothing for her under Henrietta Parr, Moore or Capes she could have remarried  ;)

I suppose you don't have any of the husbands' names?

How did you know she married a Capes?

Also what was your grandfather's first name?

Ouma,
My grandmother had my mother Eileen (1918-1983) at the age of 16 and was married to or may have been married to Mr Moore, he died young when my mother was a small child but had another child Desmond Moore before he did die.
She married Mr Capes and had 5 moore children. I am not certain if he (Capes) was married before and brought some of his children from his first marriage. This is unknown all the persons who would know are dead.
I have left it too late to get the answers to right answers.
Bavarian.

Ouma,

Was George Wilmot Parr who died in 1887 the grandfather of Henrietta J Parr 1902-1948?
