 South African Commercial Advertiser (1841-1851)
| Date transcribed | 2010-00-00 | | Transcribed by | Sue Mackay - Marianne Mansfield - Colleen Sharpe Williams | | Comment | Sue McKay has kindly authorized us to publish her transcriptions of Family History-related data from the Announcements in the South African Commercial Advertiser. This is because they include very many references to personnel in the service of The East India Company en route to or from India or on furlough in S. Africa, which offered a more temperate climate. Also included are many officers and soldiers of the British Army regiments who may well have served in India shortly before or after serving in South Africa. |
