Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in South Africa

This is Thompson Wade, born ca 1814 in Co Cork. He migrated to the Cape Colony (South Africa) and married Rhoda King in St George's Cathedral, Grahamstown, in March 1840. 

They had ten children, and the oldest, Mary, was my grandmother's grandmother. His oldest boy was named William.

He died in 1887 in Heidelberg, South Africa.

I am looking for anyone who may have Thompson in their tree, as I have not been able to locate any immi records, or other sources.

Many thanks!
