« on: Tuesday 24 January 12 12:06 GMT (UK) »
Hi there.I`m new to Roots chat and not sure if the following is still of any interest to you but I am g.grandchild of Tamar Holterman nee Chapman. She married William Henry Holterman and had three children by him.I went to South Africa in 1981 and found his grave at Spreeufontaine ,a farm in the Little Karoo area.He was killed in an ambush during the Boer War in 1901.
Of the three children,Dorothy emigrated to Canada,Elizabeth at 13 was in an institution and William( my grandfather) was sent to an orphange in the Lewisham area of London.He died in 1974 in South Wales leaving three children of his own of which one is still living.
I believe Tamar re married a Hemmerway(?)
Tamar Chapman was a daughter of Robert Chapman of Easington near Durham if memory serves me right.
Good luck
