One ARGALL family emigrated to South Africa in the early part of the 20th
Century, as did several individuals. Phillip Martin Argall from St Newlyn East went
to South Africa around 1910 following the failure of his marriage; he returned
to Cornwall briefly in 1919 but returned with his son Francis Stanley
whose first wife had tragically died three months after their
wedding in 1918. Philip died in Johannesburg in 1922; Francis
Stanley married twice further producing children from whom those now resident there
descend.
Alfred Chester
Argall was born in Truro in 1876; he married Margaret Hooper, whose mother Janet Frances Normand had moved from London
and married Charles Hooper, a Farmer, in Probus, Cornwall. The younger
couple married in Probus in 1902. The couple had a son Normand Chester Argall
in Cornwall, but this
family emigrated to South Africa in 1925.
The present ARGALL population (of around 30) in South Africa in 1996 entirely
stems from these families whose descendants live mostly but not entirely in the
Durban area.
