One Name Studies: A to G / Re: BOXALL (and variants), All
« on: Tuesday 15 March 05 18:41 GMT (UK) »Hi Ronnie,
Do you perhaps have any information about Boxalls that immigrated from England to Southern Africa around the late 1800's ?
Thanks yb
Dear yb,
I have tried to find details of the BOXALLs in South Africa but so far have had very little success. If you have details of your BOXALLs and have BMDs that relate back to England then I could probably help. I would really like to get a handle on the South Africa BOXALLs. Please let me know what you have and what you need to know and I will see if I can help. I have one entry for Gladstone, South Africa in my database but I'm afraid that is all for now.
Kindest regards
Ronnie
Hi Ronnie,
Thanks for replying so promptly. Unfortunately at present I don't have much info on them at all. I only know my grandfather who lived in King Williamstown in South Africa was called Alfred. His father came out with settlers to South Africa in the late 1800's and married a German lady whom he met on the boat coming out.
I thought I would take a shot in the dark hoping that perhaps you had some information of someone coming out here as there are so very few Boxalls in South Africa.
Thanks for your reply and I would appreciate it if you do come across any info on them.
Regards
YB
