Hello Jenny,
Kim Cook mailed me to say she had heard from you, and I think she has mailed you back with my email address.
My grandmother was Elsie Molteno who was one of Frederick and Georgiana's children, who later married Arthur Lee and lived in Herefordshire.
I guess your husband is related to Bertie and Ruby Molteno who moved to Sydney sometime around 1910 I think. I met Ron about 13 years ago when he was in UK, and on his return he stayed with my sisters in Vancouver. I heard from from my sisters (via Paul M) that he sadly died last year.
I have been doing most on the family tree amongst our lot and have some photos of portraits of Georgiana, Frederick, William White etc. Also quite a few letters from Frederick, Leonard (killed WW1) etc.
Well, I must go. Please pass on my regards and the news to all the family over there. I have some details but many gaps which I hope you can fill for me.
Regards Richard

Hi, I wrote to you ac ouple of years ago about the Ozanne White Molteno family. I was reading some of the family letters last night that my husbands Great Grandfather kept that speaks of some of the people you mention. From reading the letters they wrote to Bertie (Herbert Molteno in Australia). This what I pieced together Susanna was known as Aunt Annie and she died about three months before her sister Georgina Molteno on Guernsey. Annie died of a series of fits when she went to do something in one of the boarders rooms. They found her there on the floor and she died later after some more fits . Georgina had come to live with her sister and her Niece Flo. Poor Flo seems to have had a busy time of it running the shop and letting out rooms to boarders There is mention of Georginas health breaking down when they were nursing Fred Ozanne so I am presuming that he died but I dont know for sure. The families were all close, Fred and Mabel molteno visted a lot. They had a shop on the island that sold and repaired radios. They also spoke some other cousin on the island called Heshie and Alf who were a great support to her when her mother and aunt were failing in health. I know Georgina came back to the island because she wasn't happy long term in England. I think she bought a house of her own for awhile then desided to move in with Flo and Aunt A. Another white sister is also mention R. White. Think she is Rosie? She seemed to spend a bit of time with a lot of different relatives in her old age and was a companion at one stage to a lady in England. She seemed have been a spinster with no mention of children of her own only all the nieces and nephews of her sisters. Georginas youngest son Lennard who died in the trenches in WWI writes home from the War about how much he loves Guensey. I also have somewhere some photos of Flo in later life. If you would llike any futher information please let me know . J.Connell

Kim,
Could you please contact me regarding the descendants of Thomas Soudon WOOD & Martha UGLOW.
I have info on some of them but not on others and would love to complete the lines as much as possible.
My husband is an UGLOW descendant as well and I follow as many lines and families as I can, even the difficult to trace female lines :-)
