World War Two / Re: Long Nawang Borneo 1942
« on: Sunday 19 June 22 09:16 BST (UK) »
Hi, I hope those that wrote in this chat are still linked to it....
I'm researching the Ferguson branch of my tree and have contact with a distant rellie who gave me some details about his aunt of whom I could not find anymore details on.
He told me his aunt, husband and infant had been killed by the Japanese. Some further digging and I found a location which has led me to researching this massacre.
His aunt was Isabella Sinclair (Clair) MacPherson nee Ferguson. She married bachelor Andrew MacPherson b1905 in Russia, occupation: civil servant, in Durban, South Africa on 1 Mar 1941.
According to another of his aunt's who wrote the history down, Clair and Andrew "were tragically murdered by the Japanese on the island of Borneo in August, 1942"
I was very surprised to read in this post that Andrew has descendants. So either he lied and was not a bachelor upon marrying in South Africa, or there's another Andrew MacPherson and family that were killed in Borneo by the Japanese in 1942.
I'd be very keen to hear more from Andrew's descendants.
Thanks for your time
