Find Ancestors

I am trying to find birth dates and birth place details of the following folks, John Ernest Blackett, who apparently married Ethel Felicia Frances Smith, and they subsequently emigrated to Cape Town, South Africa around the turn of the Century 1900, where they were blessed with a son, Guy Ernest Blackett in the year 1905, on 21st September of that year.
If anyone has information on these two adventurers I will be most grateful.
Chris.

I have just yesterday obtained their names from the old ledgers in the archives of the Western Cape Registry, but there is little else to follow up on.

Emigrated from where, please?

This is the ONLY reference to the male's name on freebmd

I would like to know who I'm 'talking' to on this...............the absence of a poster's name is disconcerting. It also means that there is no way of sending a PM to alert the poster to check the thread for replies

By the looks of it Flick....you're talking to yourself!

Oh dear, what fun we are all having with the new improved changes

Looks like we are talking to Christopher...........a previous thread on this subject.to which he didn't respond.Christopher Request Review 19th Dec 2008
Please will someone, somewhere, check to see whether they have the father and/or mother of Guy Ernest Blackett in their tree? Young Guy Ernest Blackett was born in Maitland in the Cape in South Africa and it is possible that his Dad and Mum emigrated to South Africa around the turn of the century (1900) or even before then? It will be wonderful to trace the parents and will make my cousin, Anthony Blackett, exceptionally happy to learn more of his ancestry.
Kindest regards,
Chris Albon

I presume that it's you who has him in a GR tree.......(born c1908)?

Thanks Ginny, I'm off to have a look. Got my fingers and toes crossed... very difficult to type you know!! LOL!!

Flick, it does seem that our OP is "the nameless one"... probably another "gliche" on GR's side!!

Oooohhhh to lose your name!! Awful, must make you feel very absent, and the PM's down............ what on earth is happening!!!
