South Africa / Re: Rhodesian Relatives
« on: Saturday 05 March 11 15:07 GMT (UK) »
Hi Lorand,
I have done some research into my history and traced it back to South Africa. My researcher in South Africa has located records of my G-G-Grandfather Charles James Ferguson who left South Africa and moved to Rhodesia after his divorce from his then wife Annie Magdalena Ferguson nee Deale. What is interesting is that he was apparently living in an adulterous relationship with a woman by the name of Johanna SCHOEMAN nee BOTES - and this is a surname you have researched. Any link??? Charles was a POW in Ceylon during the Boer War from 1900-1902 and was diviorced at the end of 1902 before moving to Bulawayo where he worked as a Mason. Annie Ferguson married an Australian after the divorce and moved to Australia with her two children from Charles. If there is a link, and you are willing to share it would be great to hear from you!
Kind regards
Darin Ferguson
