Hello, am looking for further information on
James Beatty born 1848 in Ireland
Mary Elizabeth Beatty nee Hewitt born 1850 Derbyshire
John WS Beatty born 1876 Ireland
Mary Kathleen Beatty born 1878 Dronfield
James H Beatty born 1881 Whittington

I know that the family went to South Africa and that the sons fought in the 2nd Boer War, and also that James and Mary died there, but would appreciate any further information. Many thanks
