Hi,

As a matter of interest, I have on my tree a Sarah Jane TORR, born August
1855 in Kentani, who married William FENNELL and died on 19 June 1908 at
Sledmere Farm, Thomas River. The family was trading at Mpuluse (near the
railway line between Idutywa and Butterworth) when William died on 20
November 1889. Sarah then married Alexander REAOCH. I have the FENNELL
descendents and one decendent from REAOCH.

Vaughan
