Additonal Information

This is pre 1820 information mainly taken from actual images of UK parish registers and other primary sources which I have personally researched. Further information about the settlers and their families once they reached the Cape can be found at https://www.1820settlers.com/

There are two baptisms for a Robert STOCK, both on the same page of baptisms for St.Laurence in Thanet. The first is the son of William and Elizabeth STOCK, born 8 January and baptised 5 February 1797. and the other is the son of Robert and Mary STOCK, born 27 April and baptised 28 April 1797. They were presumably cousins.

 

Death Notice (Cape Archives) for Robert's wife shows that her name was Susanna, not Sarah as given in The Settler Handbook)
