Frank Christian Lafrentz 1867 -1897 born 18 April 1867 Brixton, Surrey, England and died on the 22 September 1946 a very old man, if this is the correct Frank, then he is buried at the Cimetiere Mont-Royal, Outremount, Montreal Region, Quebec, Canada. Frank aged 34 departs from the port of London in 1901 and travels to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada on the Ship called the Evangeline, his occupation is given as a Clerk. He is not located on a ship coming back from Canada. It’s also likely that his older brother Charles may have travelled to Canada on the way back from Hong Kong and China, Charles arrives in Canada on 12 July 1926 and may or may not have met up with Frank. If he married or had children there do not appear to be any records.

Edgar Waple Lafrentz 1879-1939 was born 4 Feb 1879 in Brixton, Surry, England and died 1939. Edgar appears to be the youngest child of Julius Peter and Janet Scott Lafrentz, he has his mother’s maiden name Waple as a middle name, and is baptised in the local church in 1880. There is a death notice for Edgar Waple Lafrentz in the year 1939. We know that he leaves from the Port of Southampton, England for the Cape on the ship Galeka, part of the Union-Castle Mail Streamship Co, Ltd on the 29 of April 1905 at the age of 28. He must have returned to England because we also see him departing from Southampton, England on the ship named Kinfauns Castle, of the Union-Castle Mail Streamship Co, Ltd for Natal on the 10^th September 1910. He married a woman named Evelyn ?, and they had two children McDuff Lafrentz and Edgar Lafrentz who died in Namibia in 1983, said to have died a millionaire with no wife or children.

Edgar Waple married Elizabeth Lucinda Evelina Crawley on 14 08 1918. They had only one child, my father Edgar Richard Lafrentz on 17 06 1920 in Boksburg. He was also known to his family as McDuff. Edgar married Dorothy Constance Law on 22 01 1944 in Boksburg. They migrated to Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) where they had 2 daughters Barbara Elizabeth born 14 08 1946 and me, Dianne Mary born O4 03 1949. Barbara died on 28 O3 1984. I have no knowledge of the Lafrenz who lived in Namibia but know there is an industrial site with that name in Windhoek. My married name is Enslin and I have 2 sons Michael and Steven George.

Interesting. I thought McDuff was an odd name for a boy or a girl. So, they are one in the same. Since the post above I have come across some further information on your family, its too large to post, I wondered if you wanted a copy and how I might get it to you by email?
