Love your site. Just having a problem with the Guest book.

I am trying to find info about my great grandfather, Christopher Harding. His Brother Timothy Roland Harding was born in Northumberland, England in 1835.

Can you please help?

Looking for info on John and James Wood of 49 Havelock Street

Would like to contact someone else who arrived 1820 My forefather is James Mundell, who arrived 1820 in Willsons Party . iam 7th generation. my address norgaarde@mail.dk

I see someone has written on your guest page about William and David Hobson - can you please refer them to the Facebook group of 1820 settlers (I have just put up pics of them and dot know how to respond directly).
Regards and thanks for this site - Janet

Excited to find the site. The family names I know that are connected to 1820 settlers are Bubb and Freemantle

my great grandfather Edward Johnston Hammond was born in the Cape in 1860. i am trying to find out who his parents were and where they came from. thanks.

Thank you for maintaining this very interesting site, I have just discovered it. I have jus started looking into my Grandfathers' line, he was baptised in 1899 in Johannesburg Alexander Bringle McLean,trying to find wher the family originated from. looking forward to further research.

I've traced my ancestory, as my direct ancestory said we were from Birmingham, England then hit a wall...they disappeared. But then I thought....hmm....they might have worked in Birmingham, but they were from elsewhere originally...Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England...looking in a different direction...then they were shipped off to South Africa...one of the children returned to England, then sailed to Canada, and then I have the tree from there.

Seeking any relatives of Reverend John Bartlett, Major Thomas Bayly, John and Charles Povall, Stannards and Bowies all from the U.K. as well as my husbands family Doman, van Riet and Scholtz.

Neat site, thank you for maintaining it so well. Richard Webb with Dixon's party was my 4x Great Uncle. Really interested to hear from anyone connected with the Webb Family in the Eastern Cape.

I have not had time to go through your Site thoroughly but was pleased to see that Robert Dickason is listed as the 1820 Settler of whom I am a Descendant. I do, in fact, have a 'soft copy' of a Family Tree that was drawn up some 45 Years ago, please contact me if you wish to have any further Information.

I am trying to find my great, great grandfather's details as an emigrant from Scotland to South Africa. My research so far indicates that he and his family could have been part of the "Aided Emigration to South Africa" around 1859. I believe that they may have arrived on the "S.S. The Bride." Would you have these passenger lists?
He was Robert Brown and his wife was Margaret. They had 2 or 3 children with them. He was a blacksmith and died within 2 years of arrival.

I have been able to check on a few facts. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for this website. It was interesting to see that my name is on!! Please fix my dad's name - it was Royden Ford Dicks, born 24 February 1922. Thanks for all your hard work in getting all this info together! Would you like any more info on anyone?

Hi Paul

This is a fantastic site - there is a branch of my family who were 1820 Settlers and this fills a lot of gaps. I'm descended from Dr William Carey - first baptist missionary to go to India in 1793.
One of his sisters, Ann Carey, married a Hobson and it was 2 of their sons, David and William who were Settlers.

Just come across this site - excellent, I believe John Dudley who was with Sarah and their daughters is my 4 x Great Grandfather originally from Birmingham. (Gardner Party 1820 Ship: Sir George Osborn). Hoping now to research further. Sarah (I believe her maiden name was Clowes) was John's 2nd wife. Now looking forward to a whole load of new research...I have further details on John's other children.

Have just discovered your site and am so impressed, thank you. I am a Norton from the Bowker family so there is lots of imformation.

Good work
