Hello Everyone.



My husbands grandparents are Alexander Thompson/ Thomson born Scotland who
married a Sarah Holmes, possibly born abt.1866

Avondale, Lanarkshire, Scotland.



They had six children: all born in Cape Town SA

A Sarah Thomson died May 26,1913 age 47. Buried at Brixton Cemetery,
Johannesburg ,SA general side, grave 2050

The children are.

Ethel Thompson, Lillian Thompson. Alice Thompson, born December 16,1895,
Alexander James Thompson born 1899, died August 5,1963

Thomas Stuart Thompson ( my husbands father ) Born January 5, 1902, died
March 16,1986 Ontario, Canada.

Adam Scott Thompson born August 9, 1906 died July 29,1990 Cape Town SA.



The information that I am searching for is proof that this is the right
Sarah Thomson and that she married to

Alexander Thompson/Thomson.





I am aware that this is not a lot of information but it is all that I have.
I have been trying to find this family for years

but have had no luck, I phoned Johannesburg Brixton Cemetery and asked
for information about Sarah Thomson /Holmes/Holmes,

her burial was a great breakthrough but I do not know how to follow up

I would appreciate if you could send me the email number that I could use
to look up Births, Marriages and Deaths.

I do hope that someone might be able to help.



Thank you Martina Thompson,

Ontario, Canada
