About Sophar Rangoon
The story of Sophar Rangoon
Earlier in the year, in my second post about volunteering at the LMA, I mentioned the story of the couple who were researching their ancestor who was a servant of the Duke of Sussex. I have today recieved the latest copy of the East Surrey Family History Society’s journal (volume 30, number 3, September 2007) where on page 22, a story caught my eye entitled ‘Souvenir from Burma’, written by Annette Hughes who is a member of the society. I’m wondering if this is one of the ladies that I met at the LMA. If not, I really need to get in touch with them, as this article tells the story of Sophar (or ‘Sofar’ ) Rangoon who, as an eight year old boy, was given to the Duke of Sussex by a Captain Marryat who had worked for the Duke. This is the ancestor of the two ladies who were doing the research into the long lost portrait of their ancestor, mentioned in my earlier post. I couldn’t forget a name like Sophar Rangoon!! I really hope that they either wrote the article or somehow get to see it or, if they see this post, please get in touch with me. source http://family-tree.co.uk/familyblogs/cathan/2007/09/01/the-story-of...
