We are about to embark on yet another fact finding trip around the Eastern Cape/Karoo region. Louise and I will be going to Aliwal-North, Dordrecht, Southwell, Middleburg, and Steynsburg, all places SPG Missionaries, Arthur and Mary-Ellen Lomax lived and laboured in the 1800's until their promotion to glory in 1910. It has been a struggle to find any relevant information, but people in these areas have been ever so helpful and have gone to great lengths to help us in our quest.
Also, folks in the UK, in particular Manchester, Oxford, and Staffordshire have sent me some of the most amazing information over the past few months, in spite of the Covid regulations and lockdowns and restrictions.
This exercise, although vexing at times, has served to restore one faith in our human race. We are most grateful.
