Is there anyway I can access records to confirm dates of birth. The period I'm interested in covers 1865 - 1880. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks in anticipation.

Were the parents in South Africa with the military? If so they have military births on Findmypast which is a pay per view site.

Hi Kathleen
No there is no military connection. They all seem to be mining engineers.
