Chirgwin Family

[tab]

Hi, I am Looking for Chirgwin Family. Harold Thomas Chirgwin (Chergwin) wife Ethel Eddy Chirgwin nee Dymond and Children Harold J C Chirgwin 1913, Margaret J E Chirgwin 1914 and Ada B Chirgwin 1915 all born Cornwall uk. On  20 Sept 1913 Harold set sail with his brother Ernest James Chirgwin on the Bamoral Castle bound for Cape Town, they were both miners. Can not find any records of the rest of the family leaving UK, but can not locate and Marriages or Deaths for them either in UK. Just hoping somebody can point me in right direction. Regards Terry

Hi I found a document in this archive when I typed in the name. Try this link. http://www.national.archsrch.gov.za/sm300cv/smws/sm200gi.

Then click on the RSA repository box, when it opens type in Chirgwin and enter. A list of documents will appear, just click on Result Summary.Appears Ernest died 1947 and Julia born Bray, died 1961.
The Genealogical Society of South Africa has a "pay to use" service which will enable you to obtain pictures of documents held in the National Archives.

Go to http://www.eggsa.org and select Content --> On Line Shop --> order Archive documents.  Once you have selected the currency, select "Enter the Shop" and then select "Archive photos" (in yellow on the blue band) and follow the instructions.

Much quicker than trying to get the Archives to reply to your e-mail requests!!  Good luck Derek.
