My grandfather, William Durie, born 1875 in Dumfermline, Scotland and
emmigrated to then Dominium of South Africa. Married Agnus Andreasson,
of Olso, Norway and settled in Umzinto, Natal.
Later seperated from his wife and although remained married until
Agnus' death, he moved up to Southern Rhodesia to live with his
daughter Edna Margaret and her husband Austin Starr Ellerton-Houghton.
Has anyone an information on the Duries' of Rhodesia.

Interestingly, there's no record of a birth for a William Durie in 1875
in Dunfermline.
Births at that time were:
1875 DURIE WILLIAM M LAURENCEKIRK /KINCARDINE 263/00 0024
1875 DURIE WILLIAM M ST GEORGE EDINBURGH CITY/MIDLOTHIAN 685/01 1085
1876 DURIE WILLIAM M BRECHIN /ANGUS 275/00 0013
1876 DURIE WILLIAM GEORGE M DALKEITH /MIDLOTHIAN 683/00 0254

Can you check the details? Or did he have another first name?

Good to hear from you
Dr Bruce Durie
