Subject: [ZA-IB] Extracts from Grahamstown Journal May-June 1848

Taken from CO53/16 National Archives, Kew, London. I have no further knowledge of people mentioned here, having merely transcribed the information from the newspapers, but these entries were photographed at Kew using a digital camera, some in better focus than others, and transcribed at home, so if you are related to someone mentioned I may be able to send you a .jpg file of the entry on the understanding that it would be for personal use and not for publication, including on a website (which would violate my digital camera license with the PRO). I have no objections to these transcriptions being added to a personal website provided no charge is made to read them
