Hi,

My Great Grandfather emigrated to South Africa as a child. His name was either James Way or James White and was born circa 1835 in Dorset, England. He got married in George, South Africa in 1857 with the name James Way and his first 3 children were baptized with the surname "Way". His children were in later years (Post 1885) found in church records with the surname "Wayd" and later "White". His eldest son was William James Way (later White) and his second eldest daughter was Sarah Elizabeth Way (later White). I therefore assume that his parents were probably William & Sarah. According to a note made by my late Grandmother, James came to South Africa when he was 15 years old (circa 1850). According to a letter he wrote as part of an Anglo Boer War Compensation Claim, he came to South Africa as a child. Any help in finding a name on a passenger list that could be a possible match for the description given above, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Johann
