Robert Hercules ROSS (b. 11 Mar 1855, Cape Town, South Africa - d. 10 Mar 1915, Cape Town, South Africa) m. Elizabeth WEST 11 Nov 1874
son of Hercules Robert ROSS (26 June 1800, Cape Town, SA - d. 17 Mar 1873, Cape Town, SA)m.4 Nov 1861, Cape Town, SA to
Maria TIER (b. 9 Jan 1818, Cape Town, South Africa - d. 11 Nov 1867, Cape Town, South Africa)(2nd wife)
(first wife of Hercules R. ROSS - Johanna Fredrika SIMONS (1809 - 1861)
Looking for any details of parents of Hercules Robert ROSS, (1800-1873)
Maria TIER seems to be the biological mother of Robert Hercules but Hercules Robert ROSS may be the adoptive father.
Looking for evidence to support this.
Also, Elizabeth WEST is the daughter of William and Sarah Ann BROOKS (m 27 may 1856, Wynberg, Cape Town, South Africa)
Looking for details of their births, deaths, other possible children as well as parents of these two individuals)

Rossofrossie on 2012-10-16 10:43:57Might Hercules Robert Ross (1800-1873) have been the son of (or otherwise related to) Hercules Ross (1767-1843), who came to the Cape in 1795 and became Deputy Paymaster-General (see the reference to him in volume 1 of the Cape Diaries of Lady Anne Barnard)?
Hercules Ross (1767-1843) was the son of Colin Ross (1734-1799), a Hamburg physician.
Colin Ross was the brother of yet another Hercules Ross (1745-1816), a Scottish merchant who made a fortune in Jamaica (see his Wikipedia entry), and the son of John Ross (1705-1753), an exciseman of Port Glasgow.
