Ayres, Robert ▶
William Ayres, a respectable market gardener in Leatherhead, Surrey, sent his son to South Africa on the Thomas Snooks in 1835. Robert was one of 10 boys apprenticed to a G H de Wet/Witt, a farmer located in the Stellenbosch district. William Ayres had written numerous letters to his son but had had no response. He had been informed by a soldier of the 96th Regiment that he had seen Robert in the Governor's garden having run away from de Wet due to ill treatment, and that he was wearing no shoes or stockings and appeared to be in a "distressing Appearance."
