ARNOLDUS LA GRANGE FAMILY
« on: Thursday 10 July 14 08:19 BST (UK) »
Hi,

im after information on the La Grange family in particular Arnoldus La Grange as im finding most of his descents.

we are assuming he was born around 1870. he lived in Ladysmith and meant to have died there when he was 102 falling off a cliff with his ox wagon (unsure how true that actually is)

we know of one son Jakobus who married Anna Johanna Estruizen. we believe Arnoldus had two wives one Bettie of which I found a grave stone but unable to find a death record for Bettie for that year.

Unable to find any relevant records, I found one reference to an Arnoldus in National archives for 1948 assuming he died in Ladysmith I looked through their death records to find nothing.

I appreciate any help anyone might have to give,

thanks in advance

I assume this is Ladysmith in the Cape? Why not apply for the estate file?

I Believe that this could be my great grandfather.
I have hit a brick wall trying to find any information on my grandfather' side.

My grandfather was born in 1933 as Arnoldus Gerhardus Le Grange, he passed in 1987.
Place of birth was Hondewater, Ladysmith. I have no information on his parents.

What I have is my grandparents original marriage certificate.

I have unfortunately been unable to find a probate record for Arnoldus 1862 - 1962. 

However your grandfather Arnoldus 1933 - 1897 has an probate record at the Cape Town Archives.  The estate file is 3954/88. Unfortunately you would have to obtain this directly from the archives as it is not online.  It should show the names of his parents.
