Help tracing Ligtenstein/Cameron in Rhodesia
« on: Friday 12 October 12 20:16 BST (UK) »
I've hit a brick wall tracing distant relatives who married in St. Helier, Jersey in 1960 and who later lived in Rhodesia around 1966. The two individuals are Cornelis (Kees) Abraham Ligtenstein and Margaret Henderson Cameron (widow of Cedric Rollo Swain). Cornelis Abraham Ligtenstein was born in Sidoardjo, Dutch East Indies (abt 1913) and Margaret Henderson Cameron was born in Esteven, Saskatchewan, Canada (abt 1914).

I can construct the following time line with some detail in terms of location.

1958 - Cornelis van der Linderstrasse, Amsterdam, Holland
28 Nov 1960 - Married at the Registrar's Office in the Parish of St. Helier on the Island of Jersey
19 Dec 1960 - Bond Street, St. Helier, Jersey
2 Aug 1961 - Kidbrook Park Road, Blackheath Village, London
1963 - Demar Flats, 371 Schoeman Street, Pretoria, South Africa
19 Dec 1966 - Kent Crescent, Gweru, Rhodesia

I'd like, if possible to find out if they continued to live in Rhodesia ? I do hope someone somewhere can remember something !?

Hi

You can try www.familysearch.org under there collections select Africa, they have a link to Zimbabwe (the old Rhodesia) on the South Africa forum there is a link that explains how they work, but be prepared a lot of the names have been blacked out, but you may find what you are looking for if you take the time.

Good luck
