Hi Karin,

I see you are researching the SWART family!!
Do you by any chance have a JOHANNA CORNELIA MARGARETHA ARPIN,b, Riversdale
15\1\1869 ?
She married a SWART and they had the following children:
CORNELIUS SWART
JOHANNES SWART
THOMAS J. SWART.

I have no other info. on this family and if you have them in yours I would
love to hear from you.

Regards
Lisette Cousins.
(researching the ARPIN, COUSINS, LAUFS,BOYLE,WALDEN,COLLOTY,KLEYNHANS and
more)

> I am helping a friend research her family history - if anyone else is
researching the Windsor name, please let us know. We have the following
information available: Henry William James Windsor 1814 - 1898 married Emma
Anna Gillham. They had 10 children: Caroline Elizabeth (1840); Florence
Carruthers (?); Henry GiIlham (1842); Thomas Price (1843); Frederick (1845);
Arthur Hickman (1847); Frank Other (1848); James Cook (1850); Percy Plymouth
(1854); Emma Price (1858).

> James Cook Windsor went to Wellington New Zealand and married a Caroline
Meyrick (nee Lawrence). They had two sons, William Claude Hamilton and Percy
James. Percy James went to Australia. William Claude Hamilton left New
Zealand aboard the ship "Waiwera" in 1900 to come and fight in the
Anglo-Boer War. After the war he married a Louw and settled in the Cape.

> Unfortunately this is not an easy name to research, especially after the
Royal family 'adopted' this surname, and many people are trying to 'prove'
their connection to the British peerage !!! I have looked at the
correspondence in GenForum, Familyhistory and ancestrycom and have not been
able to tie it in with this line. I also note that a lot of people refer to
the following books:
>
> John Burke "History of the Commoners"
> Burke's Landed Gentry
> Domesday Book of 1066
> Burke's Dormant and Extinct Peerages.
>
> Are these books available in references libraries in South Africa ?
>
> In my own family research I am researching the following surnames: BOTH
(from Holland); LOSCH (from Germany); MATTHEE; VAN EEDEN; LE ROUX; SWART;
LOUW.
