Jacqueline's posting - seems to be alone

But occupation tallies nicely with the Melbourne incoming in 1913

Jude

Yes, it looks promising, so if the Geni tree is correct she must have married between 5/9/13 and the birth of first child (Marjorie) 19/5/1915 (born in SA). Tree states married England, but then again it has her husband born 16/11/1872 in Edinburgh, England. I'm thinking they may have married in Scotland.

Any sign of another outbound between 1913 & 1915 please?

Is this possible he travelled with a Mrs Boyce

Maybe they went to S A from the USA l

THere's not a Boyce/Henderson marriage to match on Scotlands People but there is a George to Agnes Johnson

Thanks for checking Jude.

I think I can eliminate all the passenger lists so far, Family search has the christenings of 5 children in Transvaal 4/10/1925. The oldest is Phoebe Agnes, born 3/7/1909 then Dorothy 23/12/11, Marjory 19/5/15. Eric & Edna are on the next page in the register but it won't open at the moment as the internet is playing up as usual.

Father George Arthur Boyce was a miner, mother Clara Agnes Boyce. They lived 18 Scott Street, Jeppis S???

Eric and Edna June 25th 1917...can't for the life of me interpret the address!

Jude

Thanks Jude, I still can't open that page!! And thanks Shirley for the possible passenger list - do you know if that couple had young Pheobie (or child) with them please?

there is a phoebe all clara's children baptised the same time 4th oct 1925

Thanks Yvonne, they are the ones I found - although the actual church registers give dates of birth.

I/We just can't find her transit to SA, or her husbands. And we don't know where the earlier children were born either - although I don't believe in England/Wales if freebmd can be relied on.

Also, we can't find where Clara/Arthur were married, not England/Wales and Jude has checked Scotland - so were they married SA or elsewhere?? Who knows!
