Let me know if I need to reply to each one seperately...

Alas!!!!  This man is too young. Information I got from the Anglo Boer War page says he was 24 years old when he enlisted. My Gg grandfather had 5 children already by the start of ABW. 1st child born 1868, supposedly in Kimberley, last child born 1886 Mafeking. The family also lived somewhere between Mafeking and Bulawayo [as known at the time] late 1800s-early1900s. That's why my heart lept when I saw the basic information.

Thank you all so very much for your time and looking the information up. I appreciate each one, and happy to have come across this website!
I am so dissappointed though, as I wanted to be done with searching, and also to surprise his living great grands who have no information on him.

Regards to each one!

One day chicken, next day feathers 

You are most welcome.  Apart from the fact that it keeps me off the streets, I certainly learn something new with almost every bit of digging around so none of the research is wasted - who knows, John Henry's descendants may turn up one day looking for information!

You seem to have a lot of information up to the 1900s.  Is it now a question of filling in the gap between then and now?  Posting on the S Africa board may be worth doing?

Good luck!
