Hi Ruth,
Welcome to the boards. it may be better to start your own thread, as this one is a few years old, and people may not see your request. Also if you put S. Africa in the title it may help.
Good luck with your search.

Please can someone find out what happened to my aunt Audrey Linda Stewart(born Pearson 1906 England), she went to Johannesburg 1945 where her husband Harold Stewart a dentist died 1946. Since then we can find no trace of Audrey, can someone find any records for her in S.Africa, maybe marriage or death?

Thanks Ann,

Don't think any of these are mine unfortunatly. Ethel would have married in the 1930's I think, I asume in South Africa, but not 100% sure.

I'm very grateful for you taking the time to look.

Thanks for your replys.

Walter Kelly born1870c in Paris & Daniel Kelly born 1882 in Glasgow - both RC White Faither missionaries, don't know if they died in South Africa or back in UK.

The person I am most interested in finding is Ethel Kelly born 1884 in Glasgow. I'm looking for her marriage in Port Elizabeth, South Africa area I guess 1920's/30's, and to find names of her children. She moved to Rhodesia in the early 1950's, then the trail goes cold.

Thanks, Jacqueline

can you give forenames please

Has anyone had expereince of finding South Africa/Rhodesian BMDRecords.

I now know that four of my ancesters named Kelly went to South Africa in the 1920/30's. Two men were missionary RC White Fathers priests, and their two sisters followed running a hotel in Port Elizabeth. One sister died unmarried, but the other was married and moved to Rhodesia in the 1950's. I don't know her married name, but do know she had children.

I have never searched for anyone outside the UK, so any ideas/suggestions where to start or is this going to be impossible..

Thanks, Jacqueline
