I am the daughter of Les and Bettie White and wonder how many of us can still connect to those years of being together.

OMG. So interesting finding a very dear family friend after all these years , a good friend of my mothers and brothers from Pilgrims Rest days from the cottage we had at Pilgrims Rest. Claude Coghill and Malidyke Mine at Pilgrims Rest. I remember talking with him as a very young gal and spending holidays at Pilgrims Rest. Thank you for this fantastic find and wish I knew how to contact Claude Coghill again.

Yours very sincerely,

Anne M. Gieg (nee Edwards) – niece of the late Noel Hawthorne Johnston. (uncle) and very good friend of Claude Coghill – my uncle mined at the Pilgrims Rest mine many years ago. My mother was very good friends with a Ms.Baretta and Mr and Mrs Kiernanda (now deceased) of Pilgrims’ Rest.

Ex Port Elizabeth – South Africa

Hi Adel,

There’s not much info. immediately available, but the good news is that one of the history “buffs” is privately compiling regional & Pilgrims history into book form which will be published sometime shortly. All I could get at this stage is that Alex died at Delagoa Bay in 1884.

Keep up the research & interest !

Thanks so much!
