Samuel Robert Coombe
« on: Tuesday 17 March 26 23:19 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I am looking for any more information on Samuel Robert Coombe. He was born in 1904 in Hayle, Cornwall and at some point travelled to South Africa to live there. I have him on the 1911 census at St Johns Street in Hayle and at the same address in 1921.
On the 5th of December 1936 he married 'Helen Robina Simpson' - aged 21, a governess, living at 22 Lister Avenue in Durban.
I can only find the baptism of one of their 4 children that I know they had in 1941 in Durban, Natal.
I can't find a death record for Samuel or his wife or the baptisms of his other children.
Any more information about him after he moved to South Africa would be very helpful!  :)

Welcome to Rootschat!
On the UK and Ireland Outward Passenger List 1890-1960, there is a Coombe Mr S R of 54 St James Avenue, Hayle, travelling 3rd class on the Dunbar Castle-Union Castle Line. He is listed as a Carpenter, and is 26yrs old. Departed UK 3/10/1931-B.1905.
This could be him.
Regards.

Welcome to RootsChat


There is a site which I have never used which shows both names - Samuel born 1904 and Helen Robina born 1915 - not sure if this is useful to you or not
