hi Im wondering if anyone would be able to see if they can find my granpa
John Buckley born 1865 in aston nantwich cheshire. we last saw him in the 1901? census still with his sisters on the farm.
at that time he was a farmer.

We think he may have left the uk (southampton?) abt 1902-10.and went to South Africa. Durban Natal.
he supposedly fathered my dad George joseph buckley1910 south africa.
I have already tried to get dad birth cert but no luck..

Cant say exactly when he went or if he came back but i have a record of Mrs j buckley n john buckley arriving back in the uk from south africa. but cannot be sure if this is them.
Dad did have other siblings in S.A.
any kind of help or point in the right direction would be great
thank you
