• General Comment. ² Lil was born in Johannesburg in 1931 and went to school at Parktown Convent. The family moved to Fish Hoek in 1946, after her father had retired from his attorney's practice. She finished her schooling at Star of the Sea Convent, St James. She gained a Diploma in Librarianship at UCT. She played tennis for UCT (captaining the 1st team in 1949) and later for Fish Hoek club. She worked in the Wynberg Library until her marriage to Tony in 1955. She produced 4 sons under the age of 3, including twins. Her interests included tennis (as a regular player for many years), contract bridge (which she played with special friends nearly every Monday night for over 40 years), knitting and making her own clothes, and gardening. She was keen on painting, and led a group of friends who met nearly every week, often at our home, and sometimes holding exhibitions and selling their works. She taught black women how to knit and crochet. She worked for many years helping to set up libraries in coloured and black schools. She also collected books to sell for Christ Church Constantia funds.

There will inevitably be errors and omissions and the whole purpose of creating this online record, is to invite feedback and corrections.
The data is specifically for non-commercial use and my clear intention is to build family records. The data may, therefore, not be used in any way for the purposes of financial gain.

Caveat:- Throughout the project UK GRO birth, marriage and death index data appears. The GRO data appears in Quarters. Q1 = January, February and March, Q2 = April, May, June , Q3 = July, August and September and Q4 = October, November and December. Similarly, Mar Q = January, February and March, Jun Q = April, May, June , Sep Q = July, August and September and Dec Q = October, November and December. Where these dates occur, they represent the date of Registration of the event rather than the date of the actual event. Logically, registration occurs AFTER the event. In some cases this may be days or months or even years after the event. The important thing is that the event was recorded and a copy of the document of registration could be obtained if necessary. This also applies to South African NAAIRS records.

Similarly, the UK system is confusing to the uninitiated because registration districts can span several counties. Accordingly GRO locations may not record the true location of the event. They do record where the record is actually kept or recorded.

Caveat #2:- I have used URL's throughout the website as sources. The URLs are often from paid subscription sites so you may not be able to access them without an account. Inevitably there are broken URL's. I have been to every URL recorded here and at the time they were operational. In this regard, the Ancestry24 records are a problem. There are numerous references in the South African data citing Ancestry24 records. Unfortunately Ancestry24 has closed down and these records are no longer available on line.

The early South African records on this site would not have been as good as they are without the work done by Delia Robertson. Where there are website addresses containing http://www.e-family.co.za... I record the citation should read Robertson, Delia. The First Fifty Years Project.
