Andrew family - Ralph Thomas Stephen Andrew
« on: Saturday 16 July 16 22:22 BST (UK) »
Hello

I am hunting for information about the family of Ralph Thomas Stephen Andrew who married Helen Marie Calland- Scoble in Bloemfontein in 1909.
I know that they had at least 3 children
Rhona Thelma Sylvia born 20 Dec 1910
Stanley Jack Andrew born 1912

Joan Athelie Margaret born 1916

Can anyone help me with this family? We are related to Helen Marie. I had hunted for her since 2001 and today some wonderful Rootschat members helped me find her somewhere totally unexpected.

Best wishes

I'm assuming you have seen the birth notices for Rhona and Joan on Family Search.... ;)

Seem to be having a problem this morning getting onto the Archives website, will keep trying during the day....

Thank you yes I have devoured the information on the girls.

Are there any South African sites that might help me trace them?

It looks to me that Rhona Thelma Sylvia Andrew died as Rhona Thelma Sylvia Ahnert. Sometime today I had better subscribe to Ancestry Worldwide so I can access the information they have on her.

This seems to be the Death Notice for Marie, they have her as Hammond, but the rest matches

Thank you 3sillydogs. The documents are amazing. The irony was that as I read that Helen died in Peter Pan Nursing home we were driving into a nursing home to visit here Grandson that she never knew existed.

Thank you again. Do you know about access to local newspapers where I might find obits? I just saw two mentioned in documents that you sent a link to yesterday.

I only have one very silly, yappy dog that I adore.

I must switch off and get on with the day.
