Welcome to Rootschat, Kevin

Can you give us some dates? Her year of birth?  When did the ship arrive?

Do you know the name of the ship?

Welcome from me too.  :)

I can't see a birth registration in England or Wales for Eileen Elizabeth Curtis 1890-1900.  The marriage entry says that she was born in Natal.  :-\

I was informed that she had been born in England and come to South Africa at the age of 10.

I saw a copy of her wedding certificate bt cannot seem to re-access it. Please advise how I can re-access this document for printing purposes and is there any record of a South African birth certificate?

Many thanks
