Wightwick family in South Africa
« on: Tuesday 06 September 11 22:40 BST (UK) »
Has anyone heard of or is a relative of Humphrey Dudley Wightwick (b.1905 d ??), his wife Winnifred Francis Ogilvie, and daughter Janet?  Last heard of in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.  I'm new to this so hope I am doing the right thing in the right place!

Hannah.  Thank you so much.  Maybe someone has a later than 1959 Who's Who South Africa where it may say when he died.  ;D

I did a search for Wightwick on Naairs (National Archives of South Africa search).  It would have brought up any death notices, wills, etc.  Nothing came up, so he probably did not die in South Africa.

Hi,

I don't know if you've seen this website, it seems to have some WIGHTWICK info?

Unfortunately I'm not a member so I can't see any further than this, maybe someone else will be able to have a look.


Regards,
Daisy

Humphrey and Winifred were living at one time on the Berea in Durban in the 1970's - 1980's.  I would look in deaths in Durban for information. (Humphrey and Winifred were friends of my parents)
