Marian Weller - Ravenscroft

[Rollo Ravenscroft]

Hi 

I've compiling the Genealogy of  'The Ravenscroft's of Southern Africa.'

The first Ravenscroft who arrived in SA via St Helena (Where he was in the Military) was a George Ravenscroft who was married to Marian Weller below are the details that I have. 

I would like to find out more about Marian, the Matriarch of the family in SA. 

Despite working for nearly 50 years on this genealogy I have not been able to find her place of birth or her birth date, I have also been unable to find the date of her death or any death notice / certificate.(She would have most likely died in Swellendam area of the Western Cape.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rollo Ravenscroft.
