Title: Wenyon: Bethlehem
Post by: janem on Friday 06 February 09 18:50 GMT (UK)

My g grandfather Rev Joseph Wenyon died in SA in 1884/5.He was a wesleyan who was in Bethlehem for a short period.He was joined by his wife Frances Wenyon.
My grandmother Frances Lynette Wenyon was born in 1884 in Durban.
I have not been able to find any of them on passenger lists, nor any birth or death certs.
Where is the best place to look?
