Threads that mention Philip Frost
- Two English settler threads, on either side
The family runs back to two different small English villages — Rudgwick in Sussex on the paternal side, Bodham in Norfolk on the maternal. Either would be unusual for an Afrikaans family. Both is striking.
- The 1840s Frost–Terblanche blend
Norfolk and the Karoo, in the same household by the 1840s. William Doughty Frost married Susanna Magdalena Terblanche — English settler and Afrikaans trekboer blending early, long before it was the norm.
