South Africa / Re: Edmund Vivers Voullaire Campbell
« on: Friday 27 April 12 17:18 BST (UK) »
Ok, the story I know from my grandmother, my grandfather died in 1972 at the age of 72 he was born in 1900 in South Africa. There are still members of his family living in SouthAfrica. I have not been in contact with them. My grand fathers name was Edmund Voullaire Campbell. His last job was with the Railways. My Father was born in 1930 and died about two years ago, his name was Harry Voullaire Campbell. From the beginning the Voullaires left France and went to Scotland and supposedly were actors hence the theater connections. Apparantly they did something for the Campbells of Argyle and so were given the honor of being able to take the name of Campbell and wear the Tartan. My Aunt his daughter is still alive and living in Zimbabwe. Her name is Lilian Ruth Brough.
My Grand father married Lilian Lee, Her father was Hans Lee the Son of John Lee a pre-pioneer in the early days of Rhodesia.
In regard to our tree, we did have a copy but my father lost it and so we are just as much in the dark as you are. As I mentioned above maybe you can locate some Voullaire Campbells in South Africa. The last time I checked they were living in Durban Natal. I cannot be sure now.
