Hi there,

Trying to find out a little more about James KYDD from South Africa. He married on 20 July 1900 Jane McLEAN (born c1871) in Cape Colony, South Africa. Her family was originally from Angus in Scotland.

He may be the same James KYDD recorded as marrying Margaret STUART (d.1892) in Uitenhage, Cape Colony in 1882.

Please drop me a line if this rings any bells!

Hi there. i came across your post. I too am trying to do research on the Kydd family. My grandmother's name was Hazel Alice Kydd, daughter of Walter Kydd and Alice Eliza Colling Macphail. She was born in 1911 died in 1977. I've been told that there is some connection to the Stuarts but have not found any supporting evidence yet.

Are you still looking for info on James Kydd? I am a direct descendent & have quite a bit of info on the family.

Don't think it is the James Kydd mentioned above as I have a date of birth 1857.

The James Kydd in my family tree married Margaret Stuart
They had 5 children Walter (who married Alice MacPhail) James George (my grandfather) Georgina (his twin) & John.
This I think makes us cousins of sorts. I am still in contact with Georgina's grandson who might know more.
I also knew Phyllis Austin (nee Kydd) who along with Hilton & Hazel were Walter & Alice's children - as I understand it.

If this is of help to you I can compile more detailed info for you.
