A will dated 1966 has named in it "my wife's nephews James Botry Ireland and John Everitt Ireland or their children etc"
They are children of a Pigott - Hilda Sybil Botry Pigott b1883 and Ernest George Ireland of Pietersburg, Transvaal (that was where George was living in 1947 from another will). Ernest George Ireland was born in 1866 in Pembrokeshire (his father was an engineer in the RN on the 1871 census).
I'm trying to establish:
The marriage of Hilda and Ernest (Ernest was married previously to a Dollie Bromilow in 1891) (I can't find it in UK records)
The births of James Botry and John Everitt Ireland - assuming in S Africa
The deaths of Hilda and Ernest Ireland - again probably in S Africa
and whether James and John have children
I've looked at the wiki for advice on S African research but I obviously have a Worzzle Gummidge head on at present.
Any help/advice graetfully received. I'm around for the rest of the day but back to work tomorrow(where they have blocked this site :() but if I can prise Bod off the computer I'll be back in the evening. This "discovery" has renewed my enthusiasm.
