    Angry Sly Family

    Trying to find out out about a Willaim Wesle Sly who came to South Africa. I have obtained a baptismal certificate for his son. It states his mothers name as Alice Constance No maiden name. Need to establish if William Wesley and Alice Constance were married in the UK. All help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Joy,

    The only marriage I can find for a William Wesley Sly was to Bessie Beedell, Oct-Dec 1871, Bristol. Are these his parents perhaps?

    Hi Rubina, I have found out Alice Constance surname it was Jones. She married William Wesley Sly in South Africa in 1896. Now the big problem is to find out if or when he came to South Africa. Any help would be appreciated.

    Well thats what I thought but I could be wrong because his brother George Lester came to SA and is burried in Cape Town. I contacted another "Sly" in our phone book and he says that is his line. Well I have really hit a brick wall. I need to know if William Wesley Sly emigrated to SA. He married is SA in 1896 in Port Elizabeth Eastern Cape.

    Any HELP would be great. Thanks a mil.
