Hi All, I am new to this site and can find no mention of South African Eardleys. My father was William Thomas Webster Eardley - born 1910 in South Africa. He had a brother Charles and a sister Marjorie. They are all now deceased. Their father was Thomas Timmins Eardley and their mother Edith Webster (from Scotland) I have no information on how/when they got to South Africa. Father used to talk of an Uncle Donald in Staffordshire, and also Uncle Wilmot who was in Kenya at some time. I think there was an Aunt Nancy and possibly an Aunt May. My parents were married in South Africa during the war, I have a brother yep, another William, and 2 sisters, I was born in 1953. I have been unable to find a marriage link in RJEardley's amazing list of names, and am now trying to get more information. I do not think that Donald or Wilmot had children. I believe that uncle Donald had a housekeeper for many years. I seem to recall Newport Road as an address, not certain? Uncle Donald died in the early 1970's. Does anybody know of these Eardley's? Thanks so much if you can help. I am now living in England and hope to be at the reunion. God Bless Judi
