Please could you give me more info on the Raistricks and the Seniors as I do not know much aqbout them.
If anyone has any info. about the (Marchbank) Hainsworth family I would be glad to receive it.

I would love to know more about the Raistrick family. My mom (since deceased) indicated that there was a german connection and would like to know if it is true.
I am sure she would have visited the Raistrick family in 1934.

Yes I am quie sure it is my grandmother Alberta Raistrick you were looking for. My great grandfather was an engine driver and my grandfather was a railway guard. I have since found out that my grandfather came to South Africa during the anglo boer war to help transport the British troops. We believe he was already engaged to Alberta and loved South Africa so much that when he returned to UK they married and returned to South Africa to settle.
I do not know much about my grandmothers family, the Raistricks or the Seniors.
I shall try to get more information.

My grandmother was Alberta Reistrich. She married my grandfather Harry Marchbank Hainsworth (who worked on the railways in the UK). They emigrated to South Africa where they had 2 sons Alfred Henry (my father) and Jack.
In 1934 my grandparents and my parents returned to the UK on holiday. Their family lived in the Bradford area.Alberta and Harry both died in Cape town.
Their family are all still in South africa. I have a daughter in the UK.
