Hello Margaret

Thank you for mentioning this. Although I am not researching the Trembath family in general, I am looking for information on James Farquharson Trembath who was born in Penzance, Cornwall in 1874 which is in close proximity to St Just in Cornwall, so there is a good chance of a link between the two of them. James Farquharson Trembath came to SA in 1897, three years later he settled at Kimberley, where he was a prominent Union leader associated with the Typographical Union and was later involved in the Labour movement in South Africa. He later settled in Durban, where he co-authored the book "A first account of Labour Organisation in South Africa", I am attempting to write a brief biography on him and would like to gather information on his immediate family. Although I am not related, he did have a close association with my family who were also involved in the Labour movement in the 1920's and 30's.

Please let me know if your friend has any knowledge of him, as any personal family information would add an interesting new dimension to the biography.

Regards,
Dave Wanless.

Hi David

On the TREMBATH, I have been helping a friend who is not on the internet on
a line of the Trembath's

James Vingoe TREMBATH aged 21yrs married in Potchefstroom 1.3.1941 to
Hester Susanna Jacoba Schoeman born van Niekerk
James had arrived in South Africa in 1940 and at the time of his marriage
was a soldier stationed at the Potchefstroon Artillery Camp they had a son
James Vingoe who was born in 1942

We applied for James Snr birth certificate which gave his date of birth as
8.11.1919 in St Just, the son of Soloman Trembath (Goldminer) and Eva
James

Any connection to this Trembath family

Regards
Margaret
