South Africa / Re: Annie Sophia Congdon - Bulawayo Marriage
« on: Sunday 29 March 20 19:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi Rowlandson,
I am also looking as to when Ann Sophia (known to her family as Sophia) Waller was sent to Rhodesia (as it was in the early 1900s).  I have been told that the son of the house and Sophia fell in love, and consequently were sent away!! 
I have copies of photos of Sophia, and her two daughters Elsie (my grandmother's name) and Joyce.
Sophia's parents were certainly Thomas Waller and Fanny Peckover.
But, unfortunately like you I have not been able to locate a Marriage certificate.

I am having difficulty in finding in the 1911 census for Arthur Congdon, that shows on Annie Sophia Congdon's Death Notice.
I have noticed that the first child listed is a Frederick Arthur Robert Congdon - may be a clue there!!

Regards,
Cheryl

Good evening Rowlandson,

I believe I can help you with Blanche Elizabeth Pichard (nee Woodroffe).  She was my grandmother's sister in law's sister.  She had a son Maurice Rene Pichard born in middlesex Hospital on the 18th November 1913.  She married Rene Maurice Pichard on th 2nd September 1915 at the Town Hall, Berck sur Mer.  I have copies of both certificates kindly given to me by her great nephew's (Peter Waller) son in law.  I also have copies of photos of Blanche and Maurice + other family members given to me by Peter, her great nephew.
I am unsure as to how rootschat works, as have only just come across it when google searching for Pichard families in Berck.
I a unable to workout your connection to Blanche - can you possibly enlighten me please.
Regards,
Cheryl
