Hi South Africa Listers

If you are such great guys, (& gals) I'm sure you are then please help me
We are still searching for the last known sighting of Eric Mills
WOLSTENCROFT who entered South Africa in 1947 was certainly alive in the
1960's by Cyril KERSHAW who lived at Vereeniging?

Does anyone know of Cyril KERSHAW a Boiler Maker (Engineer for Anglo
American) & lived at Vereeniging? Where is/was that? perhaps Eric Mills
WOLSTENCROFT was there also as they were related,
Cyril was the brother of Dorethy WOLSTENCROFT (nee KERSHAW) and after the
death of her husband I
believe she went to live with her family



1. I understand that in 1961 there was a John WOLSTENCROFT, Joseph
WOLSTENCROFT & Ada WHITFIELD in South Africa,
Do these names mean anything to you ?

2. On another tack how would divorce proceedings be served in the South
Africa of 1948.

4. I am led to understand that there were WOLSTENCROFT in South Africa
before W.W.II, namely the following:-

Ellen formerly WOLSTENCROFT (formerly GRIFFITHS) d 1903 survived by husband
James WOLSTENCROFT

Clara WOLSTENCROFT Leave of Absence 1906

Norman BLIGHTdied 1911 survived by his wife Ellen formerly WOLSTENCROFT

J WOLSTENCROFT Stationary Engine Fireman of Salt River, dismissed from the
Public Service for a breach of discipline 1916

Am currently in touch by email with an Eric WOLSTENCROFT in South Africa but
as yet he hasn't told me where he is located, he tells me he knows nothing
of Eric Mills WOLSTENCROFT and I am abt to believe him.
