South Africa / Expat help
« on: Thursday 09 October 25 10:53 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone! I am trying to find out about the lives of Barry Wallace Bruce and Georgina Stephanie Wallace Bruce ( nee Wolfe ), and their lives in South Africa, as I am happy with what I know about their lives prior to their moving to South Africa. I am now at a place where I am stuck and would really love some help.
Here is what I have already
Barry Wallace Bruce Born 1896 - June 1956 In Johannesburg and was buried
Georgina seems to go by her middle name Stephanie 1898 -1988 Bramley House , Linden Johannesburg buried in Randburg cemetery 4167 section ecm cause avid electrolyte
She had a famous father Dr John Reissberg Wolfe (a doctor of medicine)
Stephanie Married Barry Wallace-Bruce in Perth Scotland in 1920
I was told they went to Cape Town two days after the start of WW2
I also found the following but this is as much as I can see and can't see a way to see anything beyond the title
An item in the South African Archives
ILLIQUID CASE DAMAGES - BREACH OF CONTRACT
STEPHANIE WALLACE-BRUCE VERSUS AFRICAN ASSOCIATED NEWSPAPERS LIMITED.
Identifier: ZA TAB WLD_0_1275/1939_1
Repository: National Archives Repository (Public Records of former Transvaal Province and its predecessors, as well as of magistrates and local authorities)
Barry had been a businessman, journalist and art director.
I believe the last address for them in England was 37, 38 St James's Place prior to South Africa
Any help would be gratefully received

They were all travelling Saloon (1st) class. I think Dr Wolfe may have been a through passenger from Sydney to Melbourne and then on to London, whereas the wife and children boarded in Melbourne.
That is very odd

« on: Tuesday 15 July 25 07:57 BST (UK) »I can find no shipping record of Barry or Stephanie travelling from England to South Africa, under the surnames Bruce or Wallace. Might they have travelled under a different name?
Also I could not see them in the British 1939 register (taken in Sept), so they may have left the UK earlier than that.
It wouldn't surprise me a different name , I had been told they went on the first day of the war but I've not seen anything .
