Hi Brenda
I just got this information today.William Duffey born 1 January 1800 in Clonmel County Tipperary, Ireland
Married Jane Upcott on 2 September 1825 in Grahamstown South Africa.
Children:
1st son - William Upcott Duffey born 30 May 1825
2nd son - Samuel Ebenezer Duffey born 10 July 1826
1st daugther - May Anne Duffey born 14 January 1828
2nd daugther - Anne Duffey born 21 September 1829
All these children were born in Grahamstown.
In 1930 they returned to England but left second son in South Africa with matenal grandparents.This son - Samuel Ebenezer is my ancestor.I would like to find out more about his children.
Baby Anne died at sea on their way way back to England.
Next daugther - Eliza Duffey was born in 1831 at Woolwich London
Another daugther - Emma Duffey born in 1834 at Woolwich London
Last daughter - Sarah Duffey born on 23 February 1937 - Jane died with the birth of this child.
I hope this information helps.Like I have said, I am looking for more information on the ancestors of Samuel Ebenezer - the only of these children who stayed behind in South Africa.
Hope to hear from you soon.
