Hi Listers
I've recently discovered multiple references in Hope Town South Africa for a possible ancestors namely Hugh Tinneny, unfortunately I'm unfamiliar with South African resources and really in a quandry as to where to start locating relevant data. With that in mind and I apologise in advance for the length of this email, I'm inserting all the information I hold on Hugh Tinneny and wondered if perhaps you might be able to guide me as to where I could possibly find further information with regard to Trade Directories, Immigration, Marriage, Catholic Cemeteries or other vital records relating to Hope Town itself.
This is the first piece of information found in the National Archives, Kew, London ref CO53/26, Extract from Eastern Province Herald Jan - June 1856, altogether there are 43 entries relating to Hugh Tinneny and his cases in the National Archives of South Africa. Hugh Tinneny was also a Justice of the Peace and wondered if there would be a list of these for the period.

".. of whoever ships, will kindly write and tell them, on the arrival of the beads, to advise Hugh Tinneny, Esq., of Hope Town, and to concoct with him proper means for having them transported up the country..."
Also searching for any information on James & Patrick TINNENY, James was a Corporal in the Frontier Armed and Mounted Police Force in South Africa when he died on March 23 1857 in the Military Hospital - unfortunately it does not state where.
My thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to assist, guide or advise.
