I think you'd be better off looking from the S African end for arrivals. Have you tried Facebook, there are several S.A. Genealogy groups on there and someone may know where to look, if any records survive.

Hi,

If the death of Ellen RANSLEY I found was John's wife then I wonder if this is a later marriage of his, in 1901 to a Grace KLOPPER?

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C919-37V5?i=1203

I know it says that he is 50 but he could be fibbing as Grace is much younger.


Sorry it doesn't help with Alfred but it might explain the Grace on John's death certificate.

Regards,
Daisy
