MR. P. H. de BARY. Another of Leamington’s sons who left their country become pioneers in unknown lands passed away recently in Natal. We refer to Mr. Peter Alexander Heyward de Bary, youngest son of the late Richard Broome de Bary, of Weston Hall, near Leamington. Born at Leamington in 1843, the late Mr. Bary was descended from an old Fench family, his paternal ancestor having escaped the fate the rest the family on St. Bartholomew’s Eve. through the devotion of an old servant. He was educated Oscott College. Birmingham, and possessed great skill with the pencil, regularly contributing the to the London Graphic. A clever exponent of chess, he was also an accomplished pianist.
On his first visit South Africa Mr. d Bary went shooting, and with a companion journeyed through Swaziland, Zululand. and Mashonaland. the couple being almost the first white men to enter the country.
A second visit to South Africa induced Mr.de Bary to settle down farming, and he subsequently married the second daughter of the late Dr. John Scoble.
He took an active part in the Boer and Zulu Wars, and narrowly escaped the massacre at Isandhlwana in 1879. Of late years Mr. and Mrs. de Bary had lived Bishop’s Stortford. Herts, and they had recently arrived at Dundee. Natal, on a visit to their family. His son was killed in the South West African campaign, and there remain three sons and a daughter.

Trooper de Bary was in the Newcastle Mounted Rifles on the Mangeni Reconnaissance with Dartnell.

There is a spelling mistake in his name as it appears in the title of this thread. His middle name should be spelt 'Hayward'.

The journalist obviously taking it down wrong then (fancy that) as this is how he has spelt it in his article.
Just seen the link to 1879Graves thread from 2018.
Seems this has already been discussed. I forgot to do a search before posting. Sorry Andy and  for the repetition folks.
See Andy's original post here.

Yes, Birth Registry Jul-Sep 1843 Warwick has the name correctly spelt. Indeed, Hayward is a family name and occurs across several previous and subsequent generations.
Perhaps Admin might correct the thread title?

Actually I spent part of the lockdowns following up where all the members of the NMR and BBG were on 22.1.1879 and all their correct identities. I was going to make a gift of it to the forum. I've completed those two units but was also intending to include the NMP - I'm still spending time on it.

Well done Admin!

I did it this morning Julian at 8.47am

Early bird catching those worms again!
Me too!
