Dear Roger,
I just thought that in the event that there was no non-conformist chapel
available they might have baptised their children in the anglican church, as
opposed to the DRC. The DRC records are there to be searched if Lynn
wanted, but it seemed that she didn't want to take that route. I don't know
if there are any records for the non-conformists in Natal which was why I
asked if anyone knew whether there were. There have been no replies to
enlighten us, so a letter to each of the addresses given Lynn was certainly
better than doing nothing.
Only trying to help a fellow genealogist and shots in the dark sometimes pay
off!!
Warm regards,
Jenny.
