Hello LimeTiger
I was wondering - I think I know who you are :-)
Your age and your birth day are currently the same aren't they?
(won't mention day and month, don't want to give away too much here).
I suppose this photo would be significant to you in that case

Hi,
I was nonchalantly googling my family name and came across this site - I almost fell off my chair when I started to read the thread
My great great (not sure how great) grandfather is Joseph Weed Wade.
Our family has the original medicine chest that Alice had with her on the ship to South Africa.
We have done quite a bit of work and research into our family history and have a lot of documents, photographs and information to share should anyone be interested.
My aunt, who still lives in Dundee (South Africa) today, has done much of the work, and I'm sure would be absolutely fascinated and delighted to hear from anyone who has additional information and stories to swap.
Im not too sure how this site works as I have only just registered, but do leave me a message if you are interested
J.W.WadeHello LornaJ
This is very interesting - I have also just found the link to this site. I'm also a descedant of Jonathan and Ann's daughter Alice through a grandson John Berridge (father Joesph Weed Wade) who married Andrea Nilsen.
Rather a small world it seems :-)
I see a mention of Dundee in the posts too, which is where my connection would come in.
This is really quite fascinating!Hi Sue
I have just found this link. I am descended from Jonathan and Ann Wade's daughter Alice Wade, who emigrated to South africa with her deceased sister Elizabeth Hesom's 2 sons. I would be so grateful if you could send me the information going back the 4 generations to William Wade and Alice that you mentioned in your posting.
LornaJHi John
Until i came across this thread i had no idea that any of the Wade family had gone out to South Africa. Looking back on previous replies it seems Elizabeth bpt 16.3.1817 Stonton Wyville is your ancestor ?
She was the daughter of Jonathon and Ann Wade and was one of 10 children. Is this the right family ?
If so , back 4 generations to a William Wade and Alice.
They had 9 children one of them a Jonathon Wade who would be your ancestor and another called Henry who was my G x 6 Grandfather.
You perhap's already have this info but if not i would be happy to pass it on to you.
Sue
