Hi Alastair,
Thanks for your response. Do you have any details of Doug's parents? I did meet Doug and Tillie in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa when I was very young.I never met their children. Their were two brothers Jack and Fred (who died in the East africa in the WW1)I know she had other brothers and sisters. Doug's youngest sister Joyce had children only a few years older than my older brothers, she was the youngest child and was brought up with my mother like an older sister when her parents died.
I would be interested in any information of my gran's brother's and sisters if you have. I live in Scotland now and find it very slow to get birth certificates from South Africa. Hilda Gilmore Shooter, my grandmother was born in 1891, and died in 1967. I was born to her daughter Stella Joyce Keen in 1949 in Durban, South Africa.
