South Africa / Re: Rhodesian Airman - Cecil Richard Rundle

Barry

His father died in 1926 it looks like the family must have moved to Rhodesia sometime after that.   His service number is part of a batch allocated to those who enlisted in Rhodesia & a later confirmation of death is on Bulawayo where they then lived.

I also found a sister born later

Thanks all, I had a lot on the crash as I have a mass of BC books just struggled to find out anything on the family.   Thank for finding the baptism TreeSpirit, that was a big help as I had previously only managed to find his death on familysearch  :D

South Africa / Rhodesian Airman - Cecil Richard Rundle
« on: Saturday 18 April 20 18:01 BST (UK)  »
I am researching a man who died in the UK during WW2 and was from Southern Rhodesia.
His name was Cecil Richard Rundle born in 1911  in Ghanzi he died in 1942 in Yorkshire England following an Air Crash (he had joined the RAF)
I can find a death entry in Zimbabwe which states his father was deceased & his mother was Maria Petronella Van Niekerk of Queens Mine, Bulawayo
Cecil is mentioned as being a Handyman who was living at Windsor Estate, Bulawayo.
Any information or tips on how to research this man further would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Lanarkshire / Re: Robert Strang Mather - Born Hamilton 1825
« on: Wednesday 23 October 19 23:54 BST (UK)  »
My Robert had his 1st child in Blantyre, 2nd in Boness and 3rd in Culross.  He moved about a bit probably with his job in the mines.  He is noted as serving with the Royal.Military Artificers about 1805 can find no death or entry on 1841 census (culross entries lost).
I'm really not sure where they came from...I did always wonder if there was a connection to the Hamilton Matherd since Blantyre was close.

Hi I am researching Robert Mather born circa 1777.  He married Catherine Stevenson and their first child was born in 1803 in Blantyre.  I often wondered if there aS a link to the Mathers from Hamilton...do you have any Roberts Round this time period?

I have came across your thread whilst researching names in New Monkland myself.  There is a list now available online which is taken from the graves in the Churchyard and a lair plan of some kind.  See https://www.treehousegenealogy.co.uk/post/new-monkland-parish-churchyard
I found some of my relatives within it  😁

« on: Sunday 15 January 17 17:49 GMT (UK)  »
Looking to speak with anyone with connections to Lindsay's of Old Monkland between 1800 to 1900, may have had an Irish Connection.

In particular the following couples:- Robert Lindsay/Mary Jane Lindsay, James Lindsay/Mary McFetters, Martha Lindsay/James Mahon

Thanks
