Hi Terry,

Thanks, received your PM.  I am new to Rootschat and unable to reply to personal messages.  (I read somewhere you need to have posted at least 5 posts to access this functionality..?)

I am very eager to share info and will PM as soon as I can.   My lineage:  John/Elizabeth Watson, David/Mary Delagty, David/Alice Goodall.  They had a son Aleaxander who is my great grandfather.   He was born in Duns in 1880.  Not sure when exactly he came to SA but he was enlisted in the Boer War here in 1901. 

Regards
Sharon

Hi,

I'm looking for any information about my great grandfather, Alexander Goodall Cowe.  He was born in Berwickshire, Scotland but not sure when exactly he came to S.A.  He participated in the Boer War and was enlisted in Cape Town, 1901.  I presume he met and married a South African lady.   He lived most of his life in Ottery, Wynberg and died there around 1952.
Any information will be appreciated.
Sharon
