births and deaths 1895 - 1904
« on: Wednesday 08 September 21 13:34 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have access to births and deaths in South Africa (or possibly baptisms and burials)?

I thought the FamilySearch web site might help, but it no longer recognizes my browser, and I'm reluctant to update as I think recent versions are incompatible with Windows XP.

I'm looking for three children of (Charles) Crawford Lindesay:
Frances Mabel Amy, b. 10 Oct. 1895, d. 5 Oct. 1896
Robert Noel, b. 25 Dec. 1897, is thought to have d. in 1900
Edith Ethel, thought to have been b. 1902 and d. 1904 (perhaps in Rhodesia).

As you see, I have some dates but no places.

Many thanks, Kinsy.

I don't think that Robert is one of mine, though: about half a century too late!

PDFs of baptisms for Frances and another son Hugh
Also, in case you don't have it, Charles & Amy marriage - and his 2nd marriage to Ethel in the next post.

Splendid detective work, Kinsy.  I'm most grateful.

I didn't think it was the right Robert, but now see that what I read as age six years is in fact fifty-six.

Presumably the "died 1900" that came down to me was a corruption of "died after 1900",
meaning that contact was lost after the divorce from Amy.
And perhaps on admission to hospital he gave his name verbally, and it was written down with incorrect spelling.
