Hi Chris
Thankyou for that info

Carnt make out the info of Sarah Cooper 1905
Sarah Charles nee Cooper Spouse John Morgan 1920 Maybe they were married

As Sarah Charles was on 1911 Census UK

South Africa Webb Site ??

Olive Jean -

You say,

"Carnt make out the info of Sarah Cooper 1905
Sarah Charles nee Cooper Spouse John Morgan 1920 Maybe they were married"

This is what was posted earlier:

JOHN MORGAN CHARLES Spouse: SARAH COOPER 1905
SARAH CHARLES maiden name:COOPER spouse JOHN MORGAN 1920

I think it 's quite clear that John Morgan Charles married Sarah Cooper.
He died 1905, and she died 1920.

Alfretta was given the name Morgan as her middle name.

This may be the death of their son Richard , from ancestry.co.za (or it may be some totally different Richard Charles!):
RICHARD CHARLES 1926

If you register with the site, a transcription of any of the records posted here from that site can be bought for £3.15 (or equivalent in other currencies).
Not cheap, and can take up to 10 weeks to arrive, but you might think it worth it.


I can't see travel records for any of the family.

Hi
Thankyou for your reply
I understand the post you are on about ,I just wondered when they travelled to South Africa
Now the 1911 Census is clear how the family are related.
It has been very interesting what you all have found out
So a big Thankyou to you all for all your effort
Olive Jean
