Can you help with info on Karri Davies?

Belinda Eisenhauer, a freelance librarian of Perth in Australia, wrote to Jewish Report about an article which appeared in the paper’s Community Buzz column on May 22, 2009, on “Karridene” on the KwaZulu-Natal south coast.

She writes: “I am busy researching David Walter ‘Karri’ Davies (1861-1926), an Anglo-Boer War personality, mining magnate and founder of Karridene on the KZN south coast. Karri Davies was from a Western Australian family based in Karridale – hence the interest, as there are descendants living there now.

“I have come across a couple of gaps in Karri Davies’ history in South Africa. Despite extensive research we are unable to find any further information.”

She is appealing to Jewish Report readers for more information.

“We are especially interested in establishing when he left South Africa permanently.”
