Glen,
Your SAA Ray Hart, he must haave been a handsome fella. Most of us are!
Enough of the rubbish. I would be grateful for any help.

You might be interested in researching a Alexander Joseph Hart, alive in S.
Africa 1932, the date of his mother's death. That is Matilda, my
ggrandmother. His father was Benjamin.
Alexander was born 1880 +/-. The family arrived in Sydney from UK in 1883
aboard Ellora.

Sometime later the family split, some staying in Australia, some going to
NZ, one going to US, and Alexander off to S/Africa.

The Buttons were NSW based and from London.

Warm regards, Ray

Hi Ray,

Strange, but I worked with a " Ray Hart" at S.African Airways,
also a Melvin Button.

I retired from SAA about four years ago, but will try to get in touch with
the Button clan. May take a while, but I will get back to you.

Regards

Glen Cuyler
Benoni
S. Africa.
