Can anyone help me with some information. I am currently researching the
names Clucas;Cameron.

According to the family bible that I have, my g father was born as John
Edwar CLUCAS, May 27th, 1903 in Langlaagte Village, Johannesburg, SA.
His mother's name is Harriett, (Hariett) Ann (Annie)CLUCAS. She and her
first husband ? CLUCAS (first name unknown) immigrated from the Isle of
Man in the late 1800's. I believe he died in SA. She then married a
man by the name of CAMERON (again, first name unkown). He worked in the
Kimberley Diamond Mines. He also died in SA. Annie and John returned
to England when John was approx. 9 years old.

Unfortunately, it is very vague information to go on. I would
appreciate finding out if the village ever existed. Who would I contact
to try and obtain a birth certificate for my g father? Who do I contact
to check on a possible marriage between Annie and ? CAMERON, and the
death of ? CLUCAS? Also, is there some way I could find out if there
ever was a CAMERON who worked in the Kimberley Diamond Mines between the
years 1880? and 1912?

Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help me.
