HUNT, MARGARET (Margaret Lilian Hunt)
South Africa
Born 25 April 1942
Married (1) Anthony Robin Price, 24 October 1964
Married (2) Johannes Barnard, 17 December 1976

I am looking to connect with her family.

After considerable research, I have discovered that through her father Eric Pfeilitzer Hunt. I am related through his father Leslie Maunsell Hunt and a Facebook friend through his mother, Aileen Vivienne Court Hunt (remarried Pope). Between us we have considerable information on her genealogy. I can be reached at devere15th@gmail.com

Did she also go by “Maria”? Note Fed Cup site

No. Maria=Strandlund, not Strandberg.

 

[Peter2003]

No. Maria=Strandlund, not Strandberg.

Wimbledon draw 1969 = Maria Strandberg = M. E. M. Strandberg
probably one M. for Maria and the other for Margaretha

Strandberg is given as Maria at Wimbledon '67+'69, most other results give Margaretha or Margaret (only one other as Maria) if a forename given --> for me that indicates: Margaretha = Maria

STRANDBERG, MARGARETTA
Sweden
Born 20 March 1951
Married Forsgårdh

first result with Forsgårdh in 1975

last result in the yearly threads given 1977 from Bastad


noticed Maria Strandlund born 17. Aug 1969 --> first result given in 1986 from Bastad

 

[Peter2003]

DIGHT, Alice Mary (Australia) [8 May 1878-12 July 1959] [Active 1930s-40s.]

the active years seem not plausible

if Alice and Violet Dight are born in the same year and at different places they cannot be siblings, right?

THIS IS NOT THE SPACE FOR NEW CONTRIBUTIONS.
PLEASE ADD NEW CONTRIBUTIONS HERE Blast Encyclopedia of Female Tennis Players
