Information on two individuals Samuel Harvey and Ellen Maud Mileham

[Duncan Bennie]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to find some information on two individuals who married on 7 August 1912 in St Albans Church in Kimberly.

Samual Harvey (20) married Ellen Maud Mileham (18). He was a postman. Permission for the marriage was given by her parents and his guardians so I assume that he was most likely an orphan.

Any information that would help in finding out more on this couple would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

Duncan

I would say this would be his estate file.

Here is some info which makes me think this could be his estate.

Thank you I will look into it, it does seem very plausible.

I have also found that Ellen Maud Mileham is the daughter of Edward Elija Mileham (born 1 Dec 1864 in George) and Ellen Stevens (born 1869) they also had a daughter Lillian Winifred (born 1901) and a son, Edward James (born 1891).

Edward Elija Mileham's parents were James Mileham and Susan. His siblings were, Julia (1852), Henry (1856), Emma (1862), Susan Edith (1867), and Emily Kezia (1869). All appear to have been born in the George District. I have not been able to find any other information on this family yet, especially of the origins of James and his wife.
