That's the one! Her son was my Grandfather. Of course, South African records are very difficult to get hold of. So, I was hoping to find out when Thomas W Page entered Australia & if Janet was with him. I've got a feeling she didn't, but would really love to find out for sure! |

What a sad story. Janet left a young son behind but soon after arriving in SA she realised she had made a mistake and 'was heartily sick of living on 17s a week.' She asked for her husband to take her back but divorce was granted in 1904. |

Yes, that's her. She married James Pearce in 1895, and they are in Leith Edinburgh in 1901, with their son James. |

Ok, this is not an easy one, but I would be really grateful for any ideas or pointers. I have Janet Young Black (Pearce is her married name) who ran off with Thomas Wallace Page to South Africa in 1903. ( details found from Newspaper archives on Genes - brilliant!) Anyway, she seems never to have been heard of after that date, but Thomas appears to marry in Queensland NSW in 1916 & died in 1961. ( I believe it is him, his parents names are the same as in Scottish 1901 census.) I'm trying to find out when he entered Australia, and whether he arrived alone. I know South African records are very difficult, so I'm leaving that till last! Any help at all would be appreciated. |
