Hello Enid,

This is not a very active list I am afraid to say.

>From the National Archives of South Africa I have found this:

DEPOT NAB
SOURCE MSCE
TYPE LEER
VOLUME_NO 0
SYSTEM 01
REFERENCE 305/1953
PART 1
DESCRIPTION FISHER, VICARS WILLIAM MADDISON. BORN IN HOWDEN, YORKSHIRE; ENGLAND. S/SP FISHER, ADRIENNE RAY. FORMERLY ADE
STARTING 19530000
ENDING 19530000

This means that at the Pietermaritzburg Archives (NAB)there is an estates file (MSCE) for William Vicars. Within these documents should be a South African Death Notice, which will list any surviving children.

You now have to find a kind soul or researcher to go and have a look at these files for you. Try eggsa.org, they used to do a archives look up service (for a charge), worth checking if they do still, or join the South Africa list and ask there, someone may know a researcher who will go to the archives for you, but they may charge.

Best of Luck, Dorri

> Hello to everyone,
>
> I have just joined the list and hoping to find information about my relation Dr. Vicars Fisher who became Chief Medical Officer in Nairobi. After WW1 he took up residence at the King's African Rifles Hospital in Nairobi.
>
> His wife Isabella and 2 year old daughter Deborah joined him in 1920.
>
> Vicars died in Durban in 1953, his obituary read that he was retired from the Kenya Medical Service.
>
> I have been researching this family for many years and would be very grateful if any one could provide details of this family, or perhaps guide me as to where I could find information.
>
> I would also like to know if there are any lists of Birth, Marriages and Deaths available for this period, as I would like to know if Vicars and Fisher had more children, and hopefully I may be able to find a living descendant.
>
> Hoping someone may be able to assist me,

> Kind regards,
