 South African Commercial Advertiser (1841-1851)
| Date transcribed | 2010-00-00 | | Transcribed by | Sue Mackay - Marianne Mansfield - Colleen Sharpe Williams | | Comment | Sue McKay has kindly authorized us to publish her transcriptions of Family History-related data from the Announcements in the South African Commercial Advertiser. This is because they include very many references to personnel in the service of The East India Company en route to or from India or on furlough in S. Africa, which offered a more temperate climate. Also included are many officers and soldiers of the British Army regiments who may well have served in India shortly before or after serving in South Africa. |
| | Publication Date | 28 May 1842 | | | Surname | Daniell | | | Rank or Occupation | Lieutenant | | | Event | Property sale | | | Full Entry | Saturday 28 May 1842: We understand that Major SELWYN R.E. has just sold his farm on the Kareiga for the sum of £2,500. Lieut. DANIELL, of Sidbury, is the purchaser. This farm, as we learn, was bought before the late Kafir irruption for £600, by an individual for whom two parties became responsible. The buyer became insolvent, and the securities thought they were ruined by being compelled to take the farm over at that valuation. These parties, however, sold the property for £750; after which it realised £1050, and it has recently fetched the sum we have mentioned. The farm comprises 2,800 morgen, and is about 11 miles distant from Graham�s Town. We understand that some doubts existed in the minds of the Directors of the E.P. Fire Assurance Company as to whether the whole of the damage lately done to Lieut. DANIELL�s house at Sidbury was the effect of lightning. They have, however, with commendable liberality, given the sufferer in this instance the benefit of the doubt, and agreed to make good the entire loss which has been sustained, amounting, we believe, to about £120. | | | Reference | C052/6 at the National Archives in Kew, London |
