My relative Lynda Violet Harradine was born in England and went to South Africa with her Mother Terasa Harradine. Lynda married Robert Aubrey Graham in 1926, in Johannesburg St. Mary the Virgin Anglican church. He was Australian. Please has anybody any information on Lynda or the Graham family

If you search the National archives of South Africa you may find a little more info. Robert Aubrey Graham died in 1959 and Lynda was still living at that time.
