Family History Beginners Board / Re: Troops leave Borden Army Camp Hampshire
« on: Monday 30 November 09 10:52 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

Captin Pancake is my brother, we still dont have any info re how my Great aunt got to SA. I am trying to track down how she got to SA, if shee went with any troops that left Bordon camp or if they made there own way back.

During that period of history I am assuming that travel would have been quite hard dur to the first world war starting and all the troubles in SA it self.

Regards

Silverfox

Hello

Ok, my great aunt was Dorothy West and married Ronald Cayton on the 18th May 1912. Ronald was a South African based at Bordon camp although I dont think he was attached to a South African army as they dont seem to appaer in Bordon until 1916.

My Great aunt got to South Africa some how and lived in Johannesburg, we have pictures and letters from her.

Kind Regards

Silverfox

My great aunt left the UK after she got married to a South African who was based at Bordon Army camp. She got married on the 18 May 1912, and I have letters sent from her to her sister in 1917.
I am trying to find out how she got to SA.

Regards Silverfox

Hi Wendy / Winston

We have come by the name Ronald Clayton from my Mother, I have got the date of the wedding from her Mums, my Nans prayer book.

We have heard of some letters, sent from Dorothy and are tracking them down in the family. Lets hope these can give us more clues to this.

Hi Winston

We have been trying to track Dorothy down for some time. If see left the country to go to SA around 1912 - 18 she would have had to have had a pass port are these records available and where.

We cant find any records of the troops moving from Bordon Amy camp but we know they did as the camp went to Aldershot, around that time.

We have been to the Surrey history centre and look through the wedding certs but could not find one for her.

If you guys can be of any help it would be great.

Many Thanks for now.

Captain Silverfox here, Dorothy had Three children one killed by a car in SA.

Dorothy was from the farnham area in Surrey, so I dont think that  Dorothy L is our girl.
