I am not sure how much information you have on the family. But i looked up
the Queensland BDM records and there is a death recorded for her. I also
looked on ancestry.com.au and someone has a family tree with a photo of
family in Cape town. Do you have all this already.
It also has electoral records. I have previously ordered a death certificate
from QLD and they do have the marriage details so it might be worth ordering
although it is so expensive.

On her comments for the tree she hasfor
Lauritz Emil Nielsen "4 children born in Kimberley-others in Cape Town 6
males and 6 females died,Arrival arrived in Cape town1877-worked as
carpenter.Volunteered to fight in Kaffir War. lived in Kimberley from 1882
until 1892"

>> Hello Delyse
>>
>>
>>
>> I was wondering if you could do a look-up for the following:
>>
>>
>>
>> Catherine ELLIOTT born 1862 - her parents were Edgar Alexander ELLIOTT
>> and
>> Catherine ELLIOTT (maiden name SOLOMON).
>>
>>
>>
>> If you come across any other christenings with the above parents please

>>
>> Hello,
>>
>>
>>
>> I'm afraid the look ups stop at the end of 1829, and I found no Elliotts
>> prior to then.
>>
>>
>>
>> Civil christenings from 3/1/1849 to 5/6/1870 are available on film
