Hi Lynette,

Looking at your dates, mine is probably a lot earlier. I have a
complete brick wall with Annie Regina Wolff b. 1834 in Fordsburg,
Transvaal, who married Peter Lehman b. 1829 in Zell, Coblenz, Germany
(also a complete brick wall!). These Lehman's were supposed to be
Jewish, but I have not been able to find anything on them at all.
Their son, Augustus Lehman b. 1862 married Sarah Cloete; their
daughter Sarah Margaret Lehman b. about 1900 was my husband's
grandmother; she married Augustus Adolf Forsberg.

Cheers,

Carol (also in Oz)
