greetings fellow genies...
after many years I have decided to try and find out (again) when my great aunt Margaret Alexander McCrory immigrated to South Africa (Pietermaritzburg) !
she was born in Irvine Ayrshire Scotland on 6th September in 1887 , but in some documents it says 1889 .
she married Albert Coutts 30th September in 1910 , her name on the marriage certificate was Marguerita Alexandra Macrorie in Pietermaritzburg, Natal, South Africa, (gained from Familysearch) !
she worked at Greys Hospital in Pietermaritzburg as a nurse when she went to South Africa and lived with her older sister Nellie McCrory , but I dont know who arrived first.
but I know Nellie arrived in South Africa in 1900 as I found her arrival information on eggsa!
I have a lot of information regarding Maggies , (who was known to her SA family as Peggy) time in SA including children death and even her return trip to Scotland in May of 1911 to give birth to her twins , but sadly they both died in August .
she stayed in Scotland until 27th September when she sailed back to South Africa :-(
so when she went to SA is still a mystery at least to me , I feel I have exhausted my search using all different spelling possibilities !
any help would be greatly appreciated !
regards Elinga
