South Africa / Re: Wewege, East London
« on: Thursday 01 December 11 17:30 GMT (UK)  »
My Gran, Alice Frances Green then Bowles (born Pachonik) used to have dear friends and nearby neighbours by the surname Wewege when she lived at 72 Hood Street, West Bank, East London in the 1950's and 1960's. I remember the name well because it was so strange. Unfortunately my Gran is longer alive so I can't find out anything for you. Just thought I'd pass on this little snippet. Perhaps one of my elderly aunts knows something so I'll ask. If I don't come back to you, then you know they couldn't tell me anything more about the Weweges.

South Africa / Re: Sidney Frederick and Emma Abrams

Hi!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw your post on Rootschat! Would your Sidney Frederick be the son of Charlotte (born POUND) and Louis or Lewis ABRAMS who lived in Taung, Northern Cape, South Africa during the latter part of the 1800's and early 1900's?  If so you are related to me and I would love to know more about Sidney Frederick Abrams and his descendants. Charlotte Pound was the sister of my grandmother, Mary Ann Pound (married Frederick Sansom) and after her first husband died she married Louis Abrams. I saw somewhere that she had one child with Louis but don't know anything about him. As children we used to play with a Lydia Abrams at Taung, but we never found out whether she was related or not. Lydia would be around 60 years old now. 

I would love to hear from you as then I could fill you in about the Pound family.
