Gower * Note from Sue Mackay: Gilstain Bartlett (projecting a birth date every 2 years or so Gilstain was probably born shortly after 13 Apr 1889, when Francis Gilstain left Cathcart for Johannesburg on business and died of typhoid, leaving Ellen Maria pregnant and my grandmother Hilda a babe in arms. The girl born to Ellen was called Frances after him. Presumably big brother James also named a son after Francis Gilstain?) **Tessa King notes that: Percy Lewis married Elfrieda Louise Margaret Rosner at Stutterheim and they had a son named Owen Eline Percy Hobbs born 30 October 1916. Percy died on 7 November 1918 at 'Cullean', near Cathcart. It would seem that Percy's parent, James and Eliza, cared for his son Owen. Margarete Jeal mentions an Owen as a child of James and Eliza. It is not sure whether he was adopted or not as Owen was definitely not a child of James and Eliza.rtificate after the first two children. Granard did not appear on the certificate of Enid or Alma. Died at 60 St Peters Road, East London
