Caldwell family

[pampoen]

Looking for help please?

The Caldwells sailed in from Ontaria Canada to Durban in the late 1800’s on the Minerva. Robert Caldwell and his family consisted of 3 Two girls and James who settled in Ifafa Natal.

James had a son Norman who had a daughter Patricia Norma and a son Cecil who was a jocky.
James settled on a smallholding in Rosetta as Cecil raced in Pietermaritzburg.

Norman passed on and was buried. Looking for Normans date of death and where he was buried?

Norman married Petronella Susane Katherine KREIG on 26 July 1923

The latest baptism for a child of theirs that I can see is 22 Nov 1936.

Petronella died 13 Dec 1953. Death cert says "married" so Norman still alive then.

Thank You. I am wondering if Norman did not go to Rhodesia or back to Canada after his wife died?
