FELTONS in South Africa ? (General)

Slowhands, I know you are a man of few words, fair enough, but I'm really not sure what your point is ?
Apologies if I've not made myself clear.
I don't recall saying or even suggesting I was looking for direct descendants of Thomas William b1852.
Are we saying all of Heather's ancestors are descended from this Thomas, surely not ?
Furthermore Heather says Thomas "disappears in 1900"... I took this as an observation based on the Records so far seen by Heather, who infers she hasn't looked at SA ?. As you know people don't just "disappear" off the planet, although they do perhaps go "under the radar" as t'were.

The fact is my quick look into the LDS "Africa" records gave some Felton hits in SA, apparently English men, by far the major hit was for the John William Felton I refer. This was coincidence (perhaps) - I was NOT searching for a William forename which as you know is not a rare one..

This was my first ever look into Africa records, it won't be the first although they are probably beyond the scope of this forum. So I was looking partly for personal reasons but mainly hoping to show Heather that she might enjoy looking into possible links with South Africa and her Felton ancestors, as per her family's own rumours.
