South African Birth

[holcan]

I have discovered on a distant twig of my tree a Birth of a Boy in Cape Colony ( which I assume to be in South Africa)

His parents married in Yarmouth, Norfolk in DEC Q 1893 and their First child was this one born c1886 (Details from 1901 Census) in Cape Colony.

Their next child was born in c1900 back in Romford, Essex, UK

I would be interested in finding out the reason for the South African jaunt together with Birth information.Anyone able to help?

The family's details are
Father Archibald HAYMAN born c1870 Islington a Clothing Traveller
Mother Charlotte Mary A HAYMAN nee DANBY born London N.K.( anyone know what N.K. means)
First Child Danby A HAYMAN born c1896 Cape Colony
Second Child Pearl A HAYMAN born c1900 Romford Essex.

The family lived at 6 Hampton Road Ilford in 1901.

Any information or pointers as to where to look would be appreciated.

Have you looked on the GRO Overseas index for his birth? (Available on findmypast and Family Relatives)

Oh, and "London NK" means "not known" i.e. the person who filled the form in didn't know whereabouts in London Charlotte was born.

Thanks Kite Runner I will follow up your idea.
Never thought of NK-Not Known-Thanks again
