    Default ERNEST HENRY HART 1867-1931

    This post fills in a gap relating to my great grandfather Ernest Henry Hart 1867-1931 who was born in London and died in South Africa in 1931. Further data on him and his families can be seen on the South African Genealogy site under " Ernest Henry Hart- Gauteng Johannesburg".
    This data is intended for my Hart South African distant cousins and my Crawcour South African distant cousins because the Hart/Crawcour lines relate via marriage. As a brief summary, the birth of Ernest and his sister Constance appears in "The Jewish Victorian. Genealogical Information from the Jewish Newspapers 1861-70" transcribed and edited by Doreen Berger, 2004 Pub Robert Boyd- p145 under Henry Chapman Hart ( the father of Ernest and Constance)- Birth 28.1.1867 at 20 Burton Crescent WC a son. and earlier at the same address Birth 17.12.1865 a daughter. The grandparents of Ernest were Aaron Hart and Ann Rebecca Crawcour.
    There are no GRO Birth records for Ernest or Constance.
    The Burial of Ernest Henry Hart is recorde on the JHB Brixton Cemetery Gauteng Johannesburg- Site 44a Ernest Henry Hart age 65 Year born 1866 died 14/7/1931 buried 14/7/1931- See South African Jewish Rootsbank The SA Jewish data base Cemeteries.

    Default ADELAIDE GERTRUDE HART NEE YZERMAN 1872-1956

    This post provides data on the Death of Adelaide Hart nee Yzerman wife of Ernest Henry Hart 1867-1931. I posted on the marriage and separation of Adelaide Yzerman and Ernest Henry Hart on a much earlier thread on the South African Forum under Ernest Henry Hart- Gauteng Johannesburg.
    The GRO Death Certificate for Adelaide indicates that she did not re-marry.
    GRO Death Record-

    8 May 1956 St.Giles Hospital Camberwell -Adelaide Gertrude HART 84 years 377 Coldharbour Lane Lambeth widow of Ernest Hart a Turf Commission Agent- Cause of Death Terminal Streptococcal septicimia; Congestive cardiac failure due to mitrial stenosis- Informant - B Catlin causing the body to be cremated 377 Coldharbour Lane SW9

    Probate- Adelaide Gertrude Hart otherwise Adelaide 377 Coldharbour Lane London SW9 widow died 8 May 1956 St.Giles Hospital Camberwell London SE5 Probate to Neno SHEPHERD widow effects £304.
    The London Electoral Registers show Gertrude Adelaide Hart 377 Coldharbour Lane Norwood 1939 indicating that Adelaide was living at the same address for some years.

    Default ERNEST HENRY HART -ELIZABETH SHAW DEATH

    This post provides new data on the Death Records for Ernest Henry Hart 1867-1931 and his partner Elizabeth Shaw 1882-1923 who died in Johanessburg Transvaal South Africa. The information is taken from original copies of their Death Records available online from FamilySearch (Copyright National Archives South Africa Pretoria).

    The first notice for Elizabeth Hart nee Shaw is recorded in the online record index as Elizabeth Hart Hart. Importantly, the record contains a note in pencil where the maiden name for Elizabeth is recorded as HART and the word 'correct'. Who gave this information is not recorded but all previous data on Elizabeth including the Divorce Petition in London by Adelaide Hart nee Yzerman the wife of Ernest Henry Hart refers to Elizabeth's surname as SHAW.
    I am looking further into Elizabeth Shaw to determine her place of birth and parents.

    A family tree provided by one of my South African Hart cousins gives the dob for Elizabeth as 17 December 1883 born England.
    The Death Notice for Elizabeth states:
    Elizabeth Hart born HART 113 Hopkins Street Yeoville Johannesburg age 41 European Married born England Occupation Domestic Duties
    Death 12 January 1923 113 Hopkins Street Yeoville Johannesburg
    Burial New Cemetery Johannesburg
    Cause of Death
    Dysentry 1 week
    South Africa Transvaal Civil Death 1869-1954

    There were 5 children born from the relationship between Ernest Henry Hart and Elizabeth Shaw- Winifred Amelia Hart b 1903 England; Bernard Henry Hart 1905-1959 died Johannesburg;Beatrice Ruby Hart b 1907;Lionel Lewis Hart 1910-1973 died Johannesburg;Marie Louise Hart 1914-1997 died Johannesburg.

    As previously referred to in earlier posts Ernest Henry Hart left his first wife Adelaide and his daughter Constance Amelia b 1889 and left the UK under significant financial difficulties which were published in a range of newspapers including The Times. He also received a short prison sentence together with one of his business associates. In addition, there was at least one newspaper article where he was alleged to be the father of a child born to a Daisy Wheeler in London.
    His mother Amelia Hart made no reference to Ernest in her will in 1928 other to refer to him without his name as the father of Constance and her son. She left him nothing.

    On the death of Elizabeth the children are alleged to have been placed in an orphanage but I have no confirmation of this.

    The Death Notice for Ernest Henry Hart shows:
    Ernest Henry Hart 65 years European Widower Commercial Traveller
    Death 14 July 1931 Johannesburg Hospital
    Residence 18 Portland House Commissioner Street Johanessburg
    Intended Place of Burial New Cemetery Johannesburg
    Causes of Death
    Septic Toe Joints with commencing Gangrene; Delirium Tremors About 1 week in hospital

    Elizabeth may have been buried in the New Cemetery but records confirm as previously posted that Ernest was buried in the Jewish Cemetery Brixton Johannesburg.

    Importantly, during the same period of time that Ernest Henry Hart was living in Johannesburg his close Crawcour relatives were also in the area.
    Whether or not they associated is not known.

    Default MARIE LOUISE HART b 1914 TRANSVAAL

    This post requires further research and is intended for my Hart distant cousins specifically the South African relatives descended from my great grandfather Ernest Henry Hart 1867-1931 and Elizabeth Shaw. Familysearch have provided further records on the South African lines and in this post I am providing data on Marie Louise Hart born 1914 Transvaal who died 1997.

    Currently, I have seen no birth record of Marie but there are Marriage Records for a Marie Louise Hart born 1914 Transvaal. The marriage records do not have parents names and I am always cautious about relying just on matching names and dob without further proof of parentage.

    The following data therefore is open to further research and verification and I am hoping Hart relatives may provide further clarification.

    MARRIAGES:
    Benoin Transvaal 31 March 1937
    William Reginald HUNT 39 b England Divorcee -Rigger-179 Elston Avenue Benoin

    There are further Familysearch records on the lines including marriage of the children and grandchildren of Norman and Winifred but these appear to be still living descendants and I will not post on them.
