Hi Jackie

I have a George Roberts that I am looking for more info on. He had a daughter Emily who married a Edwin Henry Thompson in Lamberhurst, Kent in Nov 1873. If it is the same person George would be my 3*G Grandfather.

The ages might fit in with the George you have (at a push) but it was only through his great granddaughter (my grandmother) that the first references to South Africa appear (that I know of).

Thanks
Glenn

Hi Glenn,

I looked through my branches, and no Emily is found.  George did not have an Emily that i know of.
Could you give me a date of birth for George and for Emily so i can double check. 

Kind regards
Jackie

Hi Jackie

Thanks for the reply.

I got George's name as father off Emily's marriage certificate where she married Edwin Henry Thompson on 18/11/1873. At that date she was of "full age" so was born before 1852.

Unfortunately that is all I have at the moment.

Regards

Hi Bonzadel, yes this site is very fascinating and lots of members who are very helpfull too.

My 3 * g/grandfather George Roberts was born in 1825, his eldest son, also George, was born in 1854. There was no Lucy listed as any of his daughter so there is nothing common at that point.

Good luck with your research.
