Hi there,

I am looking for any information regarding a relative

Christina Magdalena Du Plessis (1890 - 18 Jan 1952)
who married Leonard West Stewart(Feb 1890 - 27 Apr 1932)
I believe she was born in South Africa and joined her fiancee in the Belgian Congo around (1908-1913) where I believe they got married and then returned to Beaufort West, South Africa where they were involved in the hotel business.

Any information or links would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to track down who her parents were.

Thanks and Regards

Barend Clarke

Hi Barend.. you and I are on the same quest...Chrissie Stewart is my great grandmother (my grandmother was Cynthia Stewart) and Im also tracing the du Plessis lineage. I know that Great Aunt Thelma married a Clarke...is that where you come in?

Yes. Welcome to the family :) ...If i'm not mistaken that makes us 2nd cousins.
My grandmother was Thelma Constance Stewart she married my Grandfather Hendrick Daniel Clarke. Unfortunately I didnt know too much about Aunty Cynthia and Mona. Around the time I started to research the family history my grandmother Thelma passed away. I have a picture or two of Chrissie, but have searched in vain to find a connection to her family/parents etc. I have found her grave though which has inscribed "In loving memory of my husband Leonard West Stewart Died at Beaufort West 27th April 1932 Aged 42 And our beloved mother Christina M. Stewart Died 18 January 1952 Aged 62" which is at the Bird street, Historical cemetery, BEAUFORT-WEST.

Do you have any more information about Chrissie or her family? and how far back have you managed to go on the Stewart side?

My email address is barendclarke@gmail.com and I live in Durban.

Glad to know I am not alone in tracing our family roots, will be great to chat further and see if we can help each other.
