"And here, on a private farm belonging to G.P. Moodie, they found the richest strike so far discovered in the valley. "

Just seems a coincidence the name Moodie -  couldn't find a GP Moodie on the summary though!!

In the archives at University of Cape Town Library :

BC696  G P MOODIE PAPERS

Copies of letters G. Pigot Moodie to Rose Pigot Moodie  1880-1886
      "            "      G P Moodie to his mother and sister  1870-1886

Rose could be his wife (or his sister   )

Wonder if the sister and the letters -  would be Edith Moodie or Caroline Beavan in London

How could we find out?

Hi Annie,

I didn't copy down the web page 

Found it by google search ( G P Moodie) and at the bottom of the page was a reference to someone who must be researching George Pigot Moodie  and possibility of a relative - see what you think.
