Hi,
I'm wondering if someone can help me on this one please?
This man ( my wife's g grandfather) was born in 1838 in Bath, married 1865, had children and was last recorded on a census in 1881 as a Solicitor in
Kingston. He features in 1885 in a Kelly's directory in Southampton in a village called Hamble- Le-Rice. We have found out from Lloyds that he owned
a steam yacht till 1888 and his address when this was sold was Glenlyon Southampton. Then a brick wall. The only "lead" in FMP is a sailing list entry for an
F Little to Natal 1895.
He features on a website called SA Settlers where his former wife ( who had remarried) and then died in Capetown
We have no idea where he went to or where he died, or perhaps this was an assumed death so his former wife could remarry.
Any help would be appreciated.
