Mrs Boggie would from time to time write to his father (my grandfather) asking him to shoot the pheasant as they were digging up her newly planted maize. He spent alot of his teen years on this farm and remembers the boss boy William very well. He also remembers the huge gun collection which Mr Boggie must have collected over the years. One day when getting the old twelve bore hammer shotgun from her, he enquired as to the whereabouts of William. "Oh" she said "I have fired him as he became slow and lazy". Bear in mind the old fellow was also fairly old himself. My dad also remembers the white horse as it chased him and his friend Stanley Want around the orange orchard. He thought the horses name was Jack. <br />Apparently all the rifles were left to the convent school in Gweru (Gwelo) with all her other belongings. It has been wonderful reading about the Boggies. <br /> <br />Many Thanks.<br /> <br />Eddie Pfaff.Rhodesia Rememberedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644511584084003690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136959581834392797.post-52770870573663051432012-12-06T05:46:25.035+02:002012-12-06T05:46:25.035+02:00Sandra Worth Writes:-

I think that he was my great grandfather and left Scotland and went to live in India. My grandfather Kenneth Boggie was born in India and spoke of his father's brother who had lived in Gwelo. After Indian independence my grandfather went to live in South Africa and died there in 1963 at the age of 70Rhodesia Rememberedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644511584084003690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136959581834392797.post-48794549174377224522011-11-29T10:04:34.200+02:002011-11-29T10:04:34.200+02:00I was very excited to find your fascinating blog ...I was very excited to find your fascinating blog - the intrepid <br />Jeannie Boggie's mother, Jane Allison Marr, was the sister of my <br />husband's great grandfather, John Marr (1849-1914).<br /><br />I was particularly interested to read that you have contact with <br />Jeannie's nephew, and wondered if you would ask him whether I might <br />get in touch with him? I would be very interested to find out if there <br />are any photographs or James Bruce Manson diary extracts relevant to <br />our research - all the Marr family photos were lost in the 1970s after <br />the death of my husband's grandmother, so we are always hopeful of <br />finding relatives who might be able to help us replace them.<br /><br />Would we be able to use a copy of the photo that shows Jane Allison <br />Marr with her husband and daughter, and a photo of Jeannie at Kilblean?<br /><br />Sorry this is so longwinded!<br /><br />Fascinating story which I can't wait to pass on to my husband!<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />Elizabeth DonnellyRhodesia Rememberedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644511584084003690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136959581834392797.post-69317596290509644622011-10-30T15:02:45.736+02:002011-10-30T15:02:45.736+02:00Nick Baalbergen (Intaf) Writes:-
