We don't need a bulldozer. Lots of people with spades can do the same job. That's why we belong to a friendly list. One person on their own needs a bulldozer!!
Thank you, Becky!

Hi Joan and Robert

We've just made a connection. This just has to be it!
The only tiny query is a Christian name.
I have William Robert Broks WILLMORE and you have William Robert Bruce

Alex and Mary Ann
Child:
Jessie Maud WILLMORE, b. 24 Aug 1864, bapt. Grahamstown 22 Apr 1877
[1560913]

Robert's comments:
<WILLMORE married to George FARRELL. Does anyone have these two in their
database? >>

Death Notice.
MOOC, LEER 6/9/184 Ref 3141.
WILLMORE William Robert Broks.
Birthplace: Grahamstown
Parents: Alexander and Mary Anne Willmore.
Age at death: 26
Occupation: Tinsmith.
Wife: Caroline Lucy Willmore
Date of death: 27 August 1881.
Notice forwarded by Resident Magistrate: 12 January 1882.

Caroline Lucy WILSON, m1 Robert Broks WILLMORE; m2. Richard Thomas PEARCE
Caroline and William had two sons, both deceased. William and two sons died
of typhoid.
Caroline has led me on a merry chase ~ she was the young bride who signed
her surname in the marriage register as WILLSON. But her sister Emily put me
back on track by signing WILSON on her marriage certificate.

Another big bonus is the mention of Rosetta Ellen ~ I have been chasing
farms in Natal with the name of "Rosetta" ~ this is the Christian name of
one on Emily's daughter's. All the pieces are falling into place now. Thank
you so much Joan.

So Robert, it looks like we have finally come full circle with Jessie Maud?

Would love to expand on this link. Interesting to see the ROGERS link Joan
as this goes back to the HILLs. Now if I can only break this WILSON wall!
Anybody own a bulldozer?

Best wishes
Becky
