that married a George Craven. Other names I do not know. I have
recently heard that George Craven died from a heart attack. So its
only Maureen Craven left. She also became strange, mentally, after she divorced George. George then had a heart attack and died apparently. Apparently Allan Mortley Wood was last in Salisbury. Douglas went off to Canada long ago. Dorothy died in Salisbury in late 1980's. Gary Westermann |

a family from Bulawayo by the name of OXLEY originally from Sheffield.
The family lived in Bulawayo in the 1950s. Fathers name was William(Bill) who worked in the manufacture of cutlery. he died circa 1955 (of silicosis) and is buried in Bulawayo. His wife's name was Pat and their only son was named Billy (assume William).

| I wondered if you may be able to help
me. My sister Niall was married to a Zimbabwean farmer - Anthony
Millar. They were married in 1986 and then Niall developed an illness
and sadly passed away 6 months after the marriage. Our families
remained in contact until my family all left Zimbabwe and now we
have no contact at all. I spent many wonderful days on the Millars'
Mazowe farms when I was a teenager - hunting, fishing etc. With
all the horrendous goings on in the farming community in Zimbabwe
I have often wondered what happened to the Millars. I know that
their farms were listed and I can only imagine what trauma they
would have gone through in losing the farms. They were good farmers
and incredibly proud of what they had achieved.
If you have any contact details for Stuart or Colleen or any
of their sons - Anthony, Andrew or Robert, I would be most grateful.
I am not sure what I could say to them that could help with their
loss but they should know that memories of their farms and the
beauty that they created, comes to me often when I think of my
childhood. Paul Johnstone Bristol, England talipaul21@htmail.com |

| My Cousin Michael Patrick Christopher
Bartlett, born Yemen Aden 1935. He is married to" Di",
don't have any more details on her. They have 3 children. They lived at RAPAKO, I have a photo of them there dated 1980. I believe that they farmed tobacco there. There is reference to Rapako on the Internet in relation to the troubles dates 2000/2001, I can only assume that they were still there then. Michael Bartletts parents were Christopher Paige Bartlett and Vera Agatha Miles. They were both English, married in 1933, and travelled the world as Christopher was a Cable Engineer. Michael had a sister, Judy, born 1940 in Kingston Jamaica. She married an Australian, still trying to trace her. elizabeth.skidmore@talktalk.net |
| My parents divorced when I was very
young and I lost contact with my father, who I am now trying to
trace. My father was born in Clitheroe, United Kingdom, in 1937.
He moved to live in Zimbabwe around 1975 / 1976 and lived in Bulawayo.
I last heard he was still living in Bulawayo in 1984 and have heard
nothing since. His name is James Keith Oddie and he was born on
1st June 1937, in the UK. tomlins.steele@xtra.co.nz |
I am from South Africa and am researching my family roots. This is my story: Alexander Crombie married to Mabel May Cookson in Essex, England in 1899, had a daughter in 1900 also in Essex. They emigrated in 1904 and in 1905 Mabel fell pregnant and her husband filed for divorce. A son Eric Gerald Crombie was born in March 1906 in Johannesburg, with the divorce becoming final in June 1906. Eric grew up and joined SA Customs and Harbours, when in about 1929 he advised them that he had changed his name from Eric Gerald Crombie to Gerald Eric Hoaten. Mabel had remarried after her divorce to a William Charles Hoaten, who was in the BSAP in Rhodesia. He eventually became a Major and was one of the highest ranking officers at the time. It is suggested that he died in about 1955. I have found mention of William receiving a medal as rank of Sergeant under number 1219 with the BSAP on the casus-belli site. I think that he was born in 1877 in England and emigrated early 1900’s. I am looking for any information on this man. Date of marriage
to Mabel, any children born on their marriage, whether William
officially adopted Eric Gerald, and hence the name change? Anything
at all for me to be able to further trace his roots. |
| I'm looking for any information about
a Tom Hutchinson, prospector and blacksmith, who worked in and around
Bulawayo between 1800 and 1920. Tom originated from Scruton, a small village in North Yorkshire, UK. But he spent much of his life prospecting in Zimbabwe. One of Tom's sons, born after a short return visit to the UK, was killed in the first World War eighteen years later without ever having met his father. I have no idea whether there are any records of Tom Hutchinson. But we wouldn't be surprised if he had a second family in Zimbabwe, since he spent so much of his life there and visited home so infrequently! We'd be fascinated to find out...info@helpinthecity.com |

my husband's grandmother, LILY LUFF nee CADMAN, who divorced LIONEL
CANN LUFF in South Africa, then moved to Zimbabwe, sometime between
1913-1935.
Lionel was born in Wales, but so far I have been unable to trace Lily at all, except her name on their daughter's South African birth certificate. She may not be British in origin. She definitely never left Rhodesia, was probably born in the late 1800s. Family word-of-mouth says she was very rich, so perhaps there would be more likely to be a newspaper obituary? I know it's not much to go on, but if anyone has any information, I'd dearly love to hear from them. Regards, |

| We are trying to compile my wife's family
tree, she is the great granddaughter of James Campbell Gibson and
Gesina Elizabeth Gibson nee Steenkamp. Whilst being members of the
pioneer society and have records of the family from 1893 onwards
trying to find previous info is difficult. We know that James Campbell
Gibson was born in Scotland in 1838, became a gold miner. he married
Gesina Elizabeth Steenkamp about 1868/1869 (we assume) their eldest
son being born in the Transvaal in 1870 - my wifes grandfather was
born in June 1881, his dorpseel says NG Kerk Pretoria. Any ideas
of web sites we can look for records of the marriage and if possible
where Gesina Elizabeth Steenkamp was born we assume from her name
that she is Cape Dutch. When my wife's grandparents married in the
NG Kerk in Bulawayo in 1905 on the marriage certificate (which was
in Cape Dutch) her grandfather was stated as "Boer" many thanks johnandmay@ntlworld.com |
| My name is Charlene McMurray (nee Christie) my grandfather ran a Funfair / Fairground in Rhodesia and I wondered if you have any info on it at all with any details? I think he was James Archibald Christie. My father was Keith Egerton Howe Christie who died in Howick, Kwa-Zulu Natal in June 1990 at the age of 69. Do you know of this Fun Fair - it would go back to the early 1900's I think? Thank you. Charlene McMurraymcmurray@yebo.co.za |

| I once had a pen pal named Glynnis McGlead,
whose married name was deBruin, I think. I was just going through
some old papers (due to some flooding in my basement), and found
letters Glynnis had sent to me. My sister has a pen pal she has
kept up with all these years, so I thought it would be fun to try
to again write to Glynnis, and see how she is. Is this something
you can please help me with? Her last address was 5, 4th St, Raylton,
Bulawayo. The original address I had for her was 4 Hopwood Terrace,
Tegela, Bulawayo. At that time I lived in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Joan Colburn, MLIS Joan Colburn, MLISJoan.Colburn@mahec.net |

He served in the RAFVR in second world war and gained the DFC. He then joined the 1st Battalion of the Rhodesia Regiment as Captain and QM between 1948 and 1954 winning the Queens Medal in 1953 as the Champion shot of Southern Rhodesia. The trail then goes cold!
