port elizabeth stannard's

[rs2016]

Hi, i am searching for information about relatives of mine that lived in port elizabeth. I know a fair amount already, Arthur stannard was born in derby, uk in 1880 he moved to port elizabeth and married cecelia comfort haynes (also from the uk) in 1906. They had 3 children, arthur montague 1907-1970, phillis victoria b1908 and mona 1914-2007. Arthur snr was a dentist and i believe his son was too. I am interested in finding the marriage records for the children, i believe mona married someone with the surname 'mitchell' and phillis married a graham hoole, i would like to know if arthur jnr married and any other bits of information as i believe they all lived in roughly the same area for most of their lives. Thanks in advance.

Hi, thankyou so much for all of that, I appreciate you going to the trouble, Mona's marriage is a great find. Would you happen to know of any other resources where I may be able to find any of them mentioned? My knowledge is limited to the uk so I wouldn't know how things work in south africa regarding newspaper archives, school and work records etc.

Regarding online sources ... think of the UK 15 years ago ...

e.g.
- Family Search has loads of online films, but many haven't been indexed yet. According to the link I gave for Phyllis her marriage would taken place in St Mary's Cathedral, Port Elizabeth, so if you have a few spare days you might be able to find it.
- Apparently there are Newspaper archives, but - as far as I'm aware - they are not online (except for a few selected extracts). I suppose you could think about an SA vacation ...
