Title: Andrew family - Ralph Thomas Stephen Andrew
Post by: brigcs on Saturday 16 July 16 22:22 BST (UK): Hello

I am hunting for information about the family of Ralph Thomas Stephen Andrew who married Helen Marie Calland- Scoble in Bloemfontein in 1909.
I know that they had at least 3 children
Rhona Thelma Sylvia born 20 Dec 1910
Stanley Jack Andrew born 1912

Joan Athelie Margaret born 1916

Can anyone help me with this family? We are related to Helen Marie. I had hunted for her since 2001 and today some wonderful Rootschat members helped me find her somewhere totally unexpected.

Best wishes

Brigcs

Are there any South African sites that might help me trace them?

Post by: brigcs on Sunday 17 July 16 09:37 BST (UK): It looks to me that Rhona Thelma Sylvia Andrew died as Rhona Thelma Sylvia Ahnert. Sometime today I had better subscribe to Ancestry Worldwide so I can access the information they have on her.

Post by: brigcs on Monday 18 July 16 11:44 BST (UK): Thank you again. Do you know about access to local newspapers where I might find obits? I just saw two mentioned in documents that you sent a link to yesterday.

I only have one very silly, yappy dog that I adore.

I must switch off and get on with the day.

My stepmom is the grand daughter of Ralph and we had a conversation last night where she said that she had heard that there might have been a brother left in the UK and I started searching.
Hope you still receive notifications from this :)
