Robert - I have noticed that sometimes you refer to your Grandfather as William Taylor and sometimes William 'Corry' Taylor, the same as your father.

Which one do you know to be correct please?

Katie,

i think William c and Basil went to work in the copper mines at one stage.

William ( father of William C ) and Esther, think someone mentioned they had a farm.

Doh! sorry, bit of a sketchy past I'm afraid

Rob xx

Bob,
I don't suppose you know the occupations of William C and Esther. Were Ernest, Basil and Stella older or younger than William?
Katie

Ann of Green Gables,
No mention of the states as a starting point

absolutely no idea where they originated from but in answer to Dea, yes he stayed over here met mum got married ect, need to find mum's marriage cert don't I ? here we go again hahaha.....Kids, out you go, back on the streets!!

As far as I'm aware no others followed him......not even the pet oxen!

Robby

The Voortrekkers (Afrikaans and Dutch for pioneers, literally "those who trek ahead", "fore-trekkers") were emigrants during the 1830s and 1840s who left the Cape Colony (British at the time, but founded by the Dutch) moving into the interior of what is now South Africa. The Great Trek consisted of a number of mass movements under a number of different leaders including Louis Trichardt, Hendrik Potgieter, Sarel Cilliers, Pieter Uys, Gerrit Maritz, Piet Retief, and Andries Pretorius.

Hi Rob,

Did your dad stay over here?

Did his siblings come over or did all his family remain in S.A. ?

Dea x

Hi Bob,

Taylor doesn't sound very Voortrekerish! There's probably a UK connection somewhere...but where.

Hiya Katie,

Nope not a clue haha. And i don't know how to find out either mores the pity, short of getting in touch with the South African Archives somehow, but if you go on over to the Cyril Dore thread all the other girls there will tell you i'm a tight as a ducks botty.......so if it's going to cost me an arm and a leg then i'm afraid poor 'ol dads going to stay at the top of my tree :)) lol

But Katie, if they were Voortrekker decendents, wouldn't they be Dutch origin and his immediate family born around Durban or somewhere like that??
