Title: Hillman family East London
Post by: jkennerdale on Tuesday 27 July 10 22:02 BST (UK)

Hi

I'm researching the family of Francis/Frank Hillman who was living in Grahamstown at least until 1903 and then moved to East London. I have a possible burial at East Bank, East London in 1950, birth c.1865. I am looking primarily for any descendants as records are few and far between, but any clues or suggestions would be very welcome.

Frank Hillman died 27.2.1960 record is FRANK - says husband of Anna Hillman buried beside him but no dates on her grave stone. This is from the recording of the East London East Bank Cemetery. One post on SA Immigrants List reads Francis Hillman m 1892 Ellen Johanna Swanepoel of East London whose daughter Emeline Grace Burgess Hillman b 1895 m 1917 Johannes Lottering. It may bean idea for you to read through the archives of the list and see if there are any other postings.
regards
