Re: Manx in South Africa post Boer War

My great-grandfather, William Kissack, travelled from the IOM to South Africa from about 1880-1910. He worked in the insurance business with the gold mines. In the late 1880's he took his wife but she was sick most of the time there & never went back. My grandfather's oldest sister was born in SA in 1890.
