Hi Steven

Thanks for the info on the missing family member. I saw the name Severus at the back of the photo I have, but was not sure because there is no memory of him in the family that I know about.

I contacted the Albany Museum in Grahamstown and the lady there send me a copy of Mary Ward's Death Notice. Do you maybe have info of her children and what happened to them?

I also see you mentioned that you believe Michal Haley to be from Tipperary, Ireland. Do you maybe have any documents or references of him you can send me.

I see you want to find out more about Roderick Barker. I may be of help to you since I live in Bloemfontein, not so far from Kimberley and Barkley West. The Women's Memorial is also here in Bloemfontein and it is also a good place to search for events and names in the Anglo Boer War. I can also assist you with photos of graves when I sometimes pass Kimberley or Barkley West.

Good day

My name is Aubrey Haley and I am from South Africa. I believe Michal Haley (1801 - 5 Jul 1851) and Mary Ward (1804 - 6 Jan 1858) to be my Great Grandparent's Grandparents. Michal Haley died in Port Elizabeth, Cape. I'm not certain if his name was Michal or Michael.
According to the Death Notice for Michael Haley (DN 4856.1/2.1851.) his children were:
Michael, major
Elizabeth, major
James, minor
John, minor
and William, minor (which I believe to be William James Haley 1844 - 1892 my Great Grandfather's Father).
The names of the children also correspond with Mary Ward's Death Notice (DN 4856-1858).

The oldest information I have on my family is a photo taken in 1892 just after the burial of William James Haley (24 Aug 1844 - 30 Sep 1892) in Rouxville, Free State.
On the photo is William James Haley's wife:
Magdalena Elizabeth Haley (11 Mar 1861 - 18 Jan 1924),
and their 6 children:
John Michael Haley (Captured by Brittish troops at Fouriesburg, South Africa during the Anglo-Boer War on 30 July 1900, died 03 Oct 1901 as a Prisoner of War at Diyatalawa, Ceylon no:8121, now Sri-Lanka),
Mary Johanna Haley,
William James Haley,
Carolina Martha Haley,
Peter Andrew Haley (my Great Grandfather)
and an unknown child (cant seem to find any records).

I would really much like to get more information about Michal Haley and Mary Ward and where they came from to trace further my family roots.

I contacted the Albany Museum in Grahamstown near Port Elizabeth, and the lady working there send me the Death Notice of Mary Ward. I still have to visit them personally to get more information.
