That is fantastic Everett. Thank you so much. I'm going to try and put it on the family tree.

I've added you to our tree Everett. You will receive a request from Geni. I have the same tree on My Heritage and they should link automatically. Would be so good if you could fill-in all your family details as I see there are quite a lot of people missing. Some photos would also be lovely. If you come across the Coat of Arms I'd love to see it, as would Steve Tidbury. Thanks again and hopefully we can help one another find our roots.

So wonderful to hear from you Everett. Thank you for getting in touch. I would really appreciate any additions you can contribute to my tree on Geni. If you send me your normal email I can add you to the tree and you can add or change anything you like. I'm not sure how far back your knowledge goes but there are a few discrepancies with the line in the early 1600's, so if you have any factual sources they would help. I was in touch with Hilton and Kathy through a friend of mine in Fort Beaufort. They were most helpful. I've tried to contact Shaun, but no luck, so really pleased to hear from you. I look forward to adding this info to my tree and getting you on board. Both my grandparents, the Tidbury's and the Clarke's had fascinating backgrounds as 1820 settlers in South Africa.

Hi Gaelene and Eric,
My family tree on Geni is getting underway with lots of Tidburys. Now I'm trying to find my grandmother - Winnifred Constance Clarke's parents. She married Norman Maxwell Tidbury and the 2 families are tied by 4 marriages. However, none of the family trees list her parents and my aunty Kay can't remember their names. My mom - Joy Tidbury passed away in August and I can't find any record of who they were. So if anyone can supply me with their names I'd be so grateful.
Thanks
Karen

Sounds really bizarre but Patrick was my mother - Joy Theresa Tidbury's oldest brother, but he died soon after being born. My mother and her sister think their mother - Winnifred Clarke was pregnant when she got married in 1917 and wanted Patrick's birth date. Unfortunately there is no record of his birth or death in the records in Fort Beaufort, or a grave, so we are at a loss. We have however, managed to obtain the war medals and death certificate for their other brother George Aiden Tidbury after I started looking into it here. I will check with my friend in Fort Beaufort and let you know about the pub. She says things are obviously VERY different there now.
She met with Hilton Tidbury and writes:-Years before, the tidbury's were of morman faith. Now the person I met this morning is Hilton Tidbury married to Cathy for over 60 years and Hilton was born in Fort Beaufort in 1935 and the son of William Joseph and he has got a little book with the family tree of his side. And the coat of arms of the Tidbury family. No further news.
Lovely to hear from you again. Will be in touch.

Thank you so much Gaelene for getting in touch. It is such a pleasure when a little more of the history is exposed. I would love to see the articles and church lists if you could send them to me. My email is (*). I am particularly interested in finding the birth and death date for Patrick Tidbury - born around 1918. That is what started this journey. I have just moved house so not had time to really get into this lately but will start again next week. I have most of our family tree (Norman Maxwell Tidbury's) side and will upload these asap. My aunty - Kathleen Ford (nee Tidbury) is really pleased to hear about her family as she lived in Fort Beaufort and knows Tidbury's Toll well. I have a friend who lives there now and she has been in touch with some of Charles's family so will relay all this info. Thank you again. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi Eric, thanks for getting back to me. So good to hear about other relations. Where do you live? We live in Woking, Surrey with my mom - Joy Richardson (nee Tidbury) and my Aunty Kay (Ford) came from Zimbabwe and now lives in Leeds. Can you tell me Charles's wife's name so I can fill in that blank? It seems the Tidbury's and the Clarke's were very close, but my Aunty Ailsa who gave me the information may have got a little mixed up so I will try and get proof of who married who. Definitely Normal Maxwell Tidbury married Winnifred Constance Clarke and had 8 children. I have George Henry as coming from Portsmouth. I am trying to find the war records for Patrick Tidbury who died in December 1942 (that's how I started on this), but not having much luck. Please send me whatever you have from the Tidbury's side and I will do the same. Happy 2014! Karen

Hi Eric, I was amazed to see you had quite a bit of info on my Great grandfather George Tidbury. My mother is Norman Maxwell Tidbury's daughter - Joy Richardson. She has 2 brothers and 5 sisters. My mom and her elder sister Kay - Kathleen are living in the UK but grew up in Fort Beaufort and East London. I'm trying to put some details together and would appreciate any help you can give me. I know this so far:-
Last Name: Tidbury
First Name: George Henry
Date of Birth: 1849
Place of Birth: Portsmouth, Hampshire, England
Parents – Father: George Tidbury
Parents – Mother: Ellen
Name of Spouse: Elizabeth Ann from Cahill Ireland
Marriage Date:
Marriage Place:
Date of Death: 29 Jan 1895 age 45y 3m
Place of Death: Ft Beaufort, Cape
Notes: DN 371/1895. Children, all minors:
Charles Henry
William Joseph married Maude Clarke
Susanna Ellen married William Clarke
Mildred Margaret married Charles O’Brien
Albert George married Bertha Clarke
Norman Maxwell Tidbury married Winnifred Clarke on 16 Oct 1917
We have a very big family - mostly still in South Africa. The eldest daughter Ailsa had 12 children and at the last count I believe there are 108 in their family alone. Daphne had 9 children, Esme had 2 daughters, Stella had 2 sons and 2 daughters, Kay has 3 sons and 1 daughter and Joy had a son and a daughter (me). Would love to get in touch, and find out how we are related. Cheers for now. Karen
