Armed Forces / Passenger Lists - Boer War
« on: Friday 30 September 11 00:35 BST (UK)  »
My great-great-grandfather, Thomas Shepherd (Engr. Clerk Staff Serjt. No. 26010) served in the 2nd Boer War and died in SA in 1903.

At some point in time, his wife Laura Francis Gibbs, was living in SA with him, as their daughter Jessie was born there in 1899. 

Are there passenger listings that would show when the family arrived in SA, or returned home to the UK? Just looking to complete the picture on this family.

Thanks!

Andrea

By any chance is Thomas Shepherd (Engr. Clerk Staff Serjt. No. 26010) mentioned? He died on Jan. 2 1903 of a Lung Haemmorage in Simons Town, South Africa.
