  • Caroline Murray — Reminiscences of the Old Cape
    1 Reminiscences of the old Cape Caroline Murray Introduction Caroline Murray was the second eldest of John Charles Molteno’s children. Born in 1853, she was one of his most remarkable offspring – able, fearless, sensitive. She had an acute observational eye, excellent memory, and a real ability to write. When she married Dr Charles Murray in 1876, having faced down her father’s initial opposition, she became a full-time wife and mother, and bore ten children. But this did not stop her from having an abiding interest in public affairs. She was active in opposing the Boer War and a firm advocate of non-racialism – not just in the old white South African sense of relations between Boer and Briton, but also between white and black South Africans. She was a leading member of a small group pressing for women to have the vote. And she also responded to the problems of her son, Jack Murray, by pioneering building public support for the mentally handicapped. These Reminiscences were written around 1913, probably at the request of her eldest daughter, May, who had started to publish every four months a Chronicle of the Family to keep everyone in touch with one another. Certainly, various instalments of the Reminiscences were published there. Caroline was at least sixty when she wrote them. They are fascinating primarily for the picture they give of the old Cape in the 1850s and 60s – both in Cape Town and in Caroline Murray (nee Molteno), wife of the tiny village of Beaufort West 300 miles away in the Karoo.

  • Hercules Crosse Jarvis (1803-1889) – a Biography
    1 Hercules Crosse Jarvis (1803-1889) – A Biography by R.F.M. Immelman (from material collected by Percy Alport Molteno) Introduction by Robert Molteno Hercules Jarvis, my great-great-grandfather, is a largely forgotten figure in the history of the Cape during the first half of the 19th century. But he played a leading role not just in Cape Town’s commercial life and as Chairman of Cape Town’s elected Board of Commissioners – in effect, as Mayor of the city (1848-60) – but also in two very important political struggles. The first, in 1848- 51, was to prevent Britain turning the Cape into a penal settlement as had happened to New South Wales. The second was the effort through the 1840s and first half of the 1850s to extract the right of self-government from a rather reluctant Imperial administration. Hercules Jarvis, our original South African Ancestor But Hercules has also been overlooked for the important place he occupies in the history of our own family. Moltenos are used to remembering John Charles Molteno, who arrived at the Cape in 1831, as our common ancestor. But Hercules had come to live at the Cape ten years earlier. John Charles became his son-in-law when he married Elizabeth Maria, one of Hercules’ daughters. So Hercules Jarvis and his Dutch-speaking wife, Elizabeth Magdalena Christina Vos (they married in 1825) are actually the original ancestors in Cape Town from whom all South African Moltenos and their descendants around the world can trace themselves. What is more, three of Hercules’ other daughters also married –Annie to Major Blenkins (in India), Sophia to Percy Alport (who set up in business in Beaufort West), and Elizabeth to James Bisset, the Scottish engineer who came out to the Cape in 1858 to help build the Wellington Railway.

    County of Pembroke Shipwreck Report by Vanessa Maitland “This was the glory of life under sail: men taming and making use of the power of the wind, which was the sailor's worst enemy and best friend. In all shifts of the wind, in its varying velocities, we caught it in our sails and made it propel us in the direction in which we wanted to go. We were never at its mercy, except when it sulked and becalmed us or headed us off. Any wind that blew was our servant not our master; yet, like a wild and dangerous beast, it had to be constantly watched or it would turn on us and destroy us.” James Bisset, apprentice aboard the County of Pembroke 1898 - 1903 Port of Ngqura Eastern Cape South Africa Table of Contents Acknowledgements 20 The Historical Background of the County of Pembroke 21 Introduction 22 Wood and Iron Sailing Vessels 22 Sail and Steam 23 County of Pembroke – An example of the cost of sail 25 Doxford & Sons, Sunderland – Shipbuilders 29 William Thomas & Co., Liverpool – Shipowners 30 Liverpool – Port of Registry for the County of Pembroke 35 Sir James Gordon Partridge Bisset 36 Port Elizabeth, Algoa Bay, South Africa 37 Algoa Bay – Major Recorded Gales as experienced by Shipping 40 Coega River Mouth 43 Gale of 1903 – The Wrecking of the County of Pembroke 43 County of Pembroke – An Eye-witness Description 1898 – 1903 63 Crew of the County of Pembroke 64 Crews' Duties 65 County of Pembroke's Stores 65 County of Pembroke's Boats 66 The Archaeology of the County of Pembroke 67 Introduction 68 Deterioration of the 2004 Debris Removal

  • Introduction
    1 A Man of Principle The Life of Percy Alport Molteno, M.P. by Francis Hirst Introduction The single most exciting find in the Molteno/Murray family papers in the University of Cape Town’s Archives is Francis Hirst’s unpublished biography of Percy Molteno (1861-1937). In addition to his detailed account of Percy’s life, there are other interesting chapters. One is about Percy’s father-in-law, Sir Donald Currie, who was one of the great Victorian shipowners and a man who made a significant contribution to 19th century South African history. Another chapter relates the history of Glen Lyon where Sir Donald bought the three estates, to be left to each of his daughters. Francis Hirst has also written three chapters devoted to the life of Percy’s father, Sir John Molteno. These are the best written biography of our ancestor who became the first Prime Minister of the Cape Colony. The book also includes lovely glimpses of Percy’s brothers and sisters, and their family life at Claremont House, in the 1860s and ‘70s. Percy is a very important figure in the Molteno and Murray families. He was the only Molteno to become seriously wealthy – in large part as a result of his marriage in September 1889 to Bessie Currie. He was the lynchpin of the family for almost half a century until his death in 1937. His and Bessie’s homes in England (10 Palace Court, London, and their farm, Parklands, in Surrey), and later their Scottish home at Glen Lyon, were always open to the numerous Molteno brothers and sisters (fourteen in all), and their offspring who came over from the Cape.
