  • Descendants of William Park and Mary Martin
    Park Family History The following pages have a highly speculative attempt to reconstruct the history of the family of William Park, of Bath, Belfast and Quebec, who died in Bath, Somerset, England in 1844. It is known that his daughter Matilda married Richard Vause in Bath in January 1852, and that Matilda's sister married Frederick Hawkins on the same day, and that his wife was Mary Martin, daughter of John Martin, a merchant of Belfast, Antrim, Ireland. Most of the other information is based on circumstantial evidence and “connecting the dots”. Recently several people have helped by giving new dots to connect, but fresh evidence may show that they could be connected in entirely different way, so please do not add this information to your family tree yet. I've been helped a great deal by ShaunJ of the Rootschat website, who found some of the dots. I have compiled this family tree as a research tool only, as a working hypothesis to see where other family members might fit in. I will send this to some other family members who may be interested. If you have any more information on this family, please let me have it. If you would like me to pass on anything else I may find, please let me know. Please note the date on these documents. I am continuing my research and so the information here may be out of date and superseded within a few days, so please get in touch with me for the latest information.

  • The Hills Above Pietermaritzburg: an Appreciation
    THE HILLS ABOVE PIETERMARITZBURG: AN APPRECIATION P.G. Alcock May 2014 The residents of Pietermaritzburg are well-aware that the hills overlooking the city define Pietermaritzburg in a scenic context, and give it a particular sense of place. The optimum vantage point for viewing these hills is from the southern and eastern parts of the city, looking across the bowl-shaped Msunduzi River Valley.1 It is rather surprising that not much attention has been paid to the hills of Pietermaritzburg in articles and books about the city.2 A partial exception was a chapter in a volume published to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Pietermaritzburg in 1988.3 Specific details regarding the higher-lying land above the city are again sparse in this book, excluding maps showing the general topography, the suburbs and the natural vegetation. The book incorporates some early paintings of the settlement (circa the mid-1850s) with various hills in the background. These paintings reveal an appreciation of the terrain which does not appear to have been carried forward to more recent times.4 The hills have a special resonance, given the contrasting climates to the north and to the south of Pietermaritzburg. Many of the northern slopes are cool and well-watered with spectacular views and with remnants of verdant indigenous vegetation (although dominated by commercial forests) whereas the southern slopes are hot and dry and have limited ambience. Two commonly-touted names for Pietermaritzburg are the “The City of Choice” and perhaps more appropriately “The Green City”. In keeping with an environmental theme are the names “The City of Flowers” as well as “The Garden City”, and in a different context “The Heritage City”.

  • Greater Mpofana Bulk Water Supply Scheme
    GREATER MPOFANA BULK WATER SUPPLY SCHEME IMPLEMENTATION READINESS REPORT OCTOBER 2016 PREPARED BY Umgeni Water Telephone N° : 033 341 1203 Fax N° : 033 341 1218 Email Address : [email protected] P O Box 3235 Pietermaritzburg, 3200 310 Burger Street Pietermaritzburg, 3201 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Context This project involves a potable bulk water supply scheme located in the Midlands area of the KwaZulu-Natal province. It is referred to as the Greater Mpofana Bulk Water Supply Scheme (GMBWSS). The Greater Mpofana Region (described in this report as the area from Mooi River to Lidgetton) does not have a reliable water supply. Much of the area relies on boreholes and run of river abstraction. With increasing demands, the future supply is not considered sustainable. Phase 1 of the project is currently under construction and will provide a sustainable bulk water supply to the towns of Mooiriver, Rosetta and Nottingham Road. Phase 2 of the project is in the final feasibility stage and will provide a sustainable bulk water supply to the towns of Lidgetton and Lions River including the rural hinterland surrounding the abovementioned towns in KwaZulu Natal. The Scheme will provide bulk water supply to large areas within the uMgungundlovu WSA boundary and will include the rural areas of Bruntville, Lidgetton, Lions River and Msinga. The scheme will also supply economic activities in the areas of Mooiriver, Nottingham Road and Rosetta and will reinforce the supply to these towns. This Implementation Readiness Report (IRS) for the GMBWSS is a prerequisite for RBIG funding so that potable water is made available to both the developing and backlog areas of Mooi River and Rosetta in the Mpofana Local Municipality and Nottingham Road, Mount West, Balgowan and Lidgetton in the uMngeni Local Municipality.

Burns Supervisor February 03, 2005 Abstract “…and my blood became hot!” Crimes of Passion, Crimes of Reason: An analysis of the crimes against Masters and Mistresses by their Indian Domestic Servants, Natal, 1880-1920 by PRINISHA BADASSY Supervised by: Dr Catherine E Burns Department of Historical Studies This thesis posits that the experiences and emotional strain associated with being a domestic servant gave rise to a culture of anger and violence within the ranks of Indian Domestic Servants in Colonial Natal during the period 1880 to 1920. These acts of violence, in particular physical and indecent assault and poisoning are explored here not in admiration of their brutality, but for their historical relevance to the study of Indenture, more specifically in the area of servant-master/mistress relations. The study uses these crimes as a window into the social dynamics of the settler home and domestic space in Colonial Natal, since they were created within their own set of orchestrating emotions and situations.

They are part of the world’s material heritage, and part of history. Ever more of this postal heritage becomes available online, published by stamp collectors’ organizations, auction houses, commercial stamp shops, online catalogues, and individual collectors. Virtually collecting postage stamps and postal history has recently become a possibility. These working papers about Africa are examples of what can be done. But they are work-in-progress! Everyone who would like to contribute, by sending corrections, additions, and new area studies can do so by sending an email message to the APH editor: Ton Dietz ([email protected]). You are welcome! Disclaimer: illustrations and some texts are copied from internet sources that are publicly available. All sources have been mentioned.
