Sir, a facinating fact for you is that there are other Black Cardens in South Africa. My
name is Brian Carden originally from Wales and about 35 miles from the village of Carden,
our ancestral home (all of us it appears). The family name (and village) was first noted
in the Doomsday book in 1070. I now live in North Carolina since moving here in 1995, my
uncle Arthur Carden emigrated to what was Rhodesia in about 1949. He married a black woman
and had 2 sons, one became a Catholic Priest, the other a doctor. The later also married a
black woman and had 3 children.
