1926 24 Feb - Margaret Nancy Cemane (nee Mpujabi) married Francis Richard Hulley at Harding, Natal.

Note: The surname of Cemane is confirmed by a descendant, Ronelle Cain. It is stated that she was a Zulu woman. It was customary for a man to give his wife names when they married, so it must be presumed that Francis named her Margaret Nancy.

2013 15 Mar - information from a restricted source: Francis Richard HULLEY, born 9 Dec 1873 in Bathurst, E C, died 30 Sep 1936 in Addington Hospital, Durban., occupation a grain farmer on "Rosival" farm, Harding, Natal. ~§~ He was named after his two grandfathers, Francis Whittal and Richard Hulley. According to a restricted source, he died as an infant, but that he grew up, married twice, and had a number of children is now known (2003). A death notice obtained from Pietermaritzburg Archives shows that he was married twice with seven children, but it does not state which wife had the children. It is not certain how many children he had with the first wife as some may have died. It has been assumed that the eldest children were that of the first wife and the others that of his second wife as there is a ten year age gap between the second and the third child. He was legally married to his second wife but not sure about the first. The two eldest sons are not shown on the death notice of their father, which could also mean that they were not the widow's sons. Francis Richard Hulley was a farmer and a storekeeper and lived at Harding, Natal. The 1820 Settler Family Trees CD states that a F R Hulley died in 1932 leaving a widow Margaret who Russell Clayton shows as Margaret Cemane. He did in fact marry two women of a different race, most probably Zulu. (Harding Marriage Register. 3.8.1867 - 3.2.1921) .In the Magistrates Office on the 24th Febraury 1926, Francis Richard Hulley and Margaret Cemane appeared before Malcolm Thurston, SJP, to obtain a marriage special licence. Thurston declared them man and wife.

(From Wikipedia) - Harding is a town situated in the Mzimkulwana River valley, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Harding was established as a military outpost following the United Kingdom's annexation of East Griqualand in 1874 and was named after the first chief of justice for Natal, Sir Walter Harding. Timber and dairy farming are the main economic activities. The 122 kilometres (76 mi) narrow gauge Alfred County Railway served the farming areas, linking Harding with Port Shepstone".
