William Lucas Randall

[WarrenSA]

I am trying to find a link between William Lucas Randall (Born Aug 31 1855  District of Queenstown, Cape Colony, South Africa and died June 16 1927 Johannesburg, Transvaal, South Africa and his son Thomas William Randall (Born May 17 1882  Cape Province, South Africa) and died Apr 29 1959
Germiston General hospital. I believe them to be father and son but i am unable to find a definitive record of this.

If this is William's marriage are we to take it that Louisa Alexandra Potgieter is Thomas's mother

MHG means the Estate file lies with the master of the supreme court. If the William we looking for died in 1927, this cannot be him.

The one that was killed on the Somme in 1916 was apparently only 16 years of age.
