Harry
en Cynthia het aan die Cheadle Heath
Primary School skoolgegaan. Cheadle Heath is a suburb of Stockport,
Greater Manchester, England. It is
approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Stockport's town centre and 8 miles (13
km) southeast of the city of Manchester.

die Stockport Grammar School. Stockport Grammar School is a British
co-educational independent school located in Stockport, England. Founded in
1487 by former Lord Mayor of London Sir Edmund Shaa, it is the oldest operating
institution of learning in the North of England. (Wikipedia)

Toe hy
ouer was het Harry graag met skoolvakansies en langnaweke by sy Aunty Lizzy
(Elizabeth) gekuier. Hy het van jongs af
‘n belangstelling in kookkuns gehad en sy het hom daarin aangemoedig. Gedurende die kwartaal het hy ook by die ou
dame wat langs hulle gewoon het, gaan kuier en dan vir haar gehelp om kos te
kook. As jong seun het Harry graag gaan fliek.
In Maart
1947, toe Harry 15 jaar oud was, het die familie na Rhodesia verhuis. In ‘n brief gedateer 10 September 1947
geteken deur Stella Monk, die Assistant Director van die Empire Day movement (Engeland) word geskryf: Dear
Harry, I was pleased to have your name sent in to be inscribed on the Empire
Roll which is kept in this office. Your
name will be there, with others from schools throughout the Empire, many of
them names of children of other nationalities, religions and races, but all of
them citizens of the Empire in which we are happy to live. Growing-up is an adventure, and we go out
into the world and there we find happiness in helping other people, and in
doing, with all our heart, any work in which we are engaged. We also find many interests, some few
disasters to overcome and plenty of fun.
That in secret ballot by your Head Teacher and school friends, your name
is selected to be on the Empire roll, shows that you have the kind of character
which should enable you to make the best use of opportunities coming your way. Vir 1947 en 48 het Harry die Milton School
bygewoon.
Milton High School is a government all-boys high school located in
Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. It was the first government all-boys school established in
Bulawayo. (Wikipedia)
Milton
High School, Bulawayo
Harry
het nie baie van sport nie, maar het wel baie van amateur dramatics gehou. Reeds as jong seun was hy al betrokke by
toneelspel en toneelopvoerings. The first play this year was put on for
Speech Night on the 9th of April, in the Dining Hall. For this occasion a one-act play, The Last
War, by Neil Grant, was selected. Being
an animal play it was not easy to produce with a schoolboy cast. The stage was not high enough for everyone to
be able to see and the acoustics of the hall were poor. The success of the play was chiefly due to
good production and the amount of work put into it by those who took part,
including the off-stage members of the Society.
It would be difficult to say who had the main part in the play, when
nearly all characters were animals, with the exception of the angel and the
soldier. (The Miltonian, Vol. XXXII
December, 1948) In The
Last War deur Neil Grant het Harry
die rol van die Soldier gespeel. (The Miltonian. December 1948)
“The Last War.” The Angel addresses the survivors.
In
1947 het hy ‘n sertifikaat vanaf die Southern Rhodesia Education Department
(Std. 8) ontvang. Hierna het Harry na
die Bulawayo tegniese skool gegaan tot 1950. Bulawayo
Technical School was established in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe in 1927. The school was
established for boys likely to enter industrial life as an apprentice or
otherwise. High school status was
achieved in 1931. (Wikipedia)
Bulawayo Technical School 1950
The first dramatic performances at the
Bulawayo Technical School formed part of what for many years was known as 'The
School Concert and Prize-giving.' These occasions, which were attended by
invited guests, parents and friends of the School, were held annually in
November initially in what was called 'the School Theatre at the Hostel.' As
the evenings consisted of a report by the Headmaster and the presentation of
prizes and awards to pupils, time was limited, so the plays performed were
always one-act plays. A dramatic society
was, however, formed only in 1947, and Mr. H. J. Sutherby, the Headmaster,
became its president. The Dramatic Society met regularly for play readings and,
a year after its inception, a Junior Dramatic Society was also started. As a
result of this, two one-act plays again were performed each speech night, the
one being presented by the Senior Dramatic Society and the other by the Junior.
The two societies were a great success, as evidenced by the fact that, in 1951,
two hundred members attended the annual general meeting. In April 1948, Mrs. Sutherby directed the
school's first full-length play — Laburnum Grove by J. B. Priestley. Girls who
had connections with the school took the female roles in the play. Laburnum
Grove was well received by the audiences, and Mrs. Sutherby continued to direct
the major productions of 1951 and 1952. (Gifford

Dramatic productions:

1950 The

(Gifford

The Murder of Duncan waarin Harry die rol
van Macbeth gespeel het, is tydens die speech night opgevoer by die Bulawayo
Techniese skool op 29 Julie 1949. The excerpt from Macbeth – The Murder of
Duncan – performed by seniors, provided an excellent finale to the
evening. Much credit is due to the cast,
and to the producer, Mr. Houlton, for a skilled performance and interpretation. Performances in this were generally of a high
quality, with Harold Wortley outstanding in the role of Macbeth. Wortley possesses a good speaking voice,
which he used to excellent effect, and good stage presence. It is to be hoped that he will maintain an
active intrest in amateur dramatics when he leaves school. (Bulawayo Technical School Magazine. Vol. 3.
No. 2. Nov. 1949)
In die
Bulawayo Technical School Magazine November 1949, is die volgende van sy
toneelspel gesê: Performances in this were generally of a high quality, with Harold
Wortley outstanding in the role of Macbeth.
Wortley possesses a good speaking voice, which he used to excellent
effect, and good stage presence. It is
hoped that he will maintain an active intrest in amateur dramatics when he
leaves school. Op 31 Maart en 1
April 1950 is Captain Brassbound’s
Conversion deur George Bernard Shaw, deur die Bulawayo Technical School
Dramatic Society opgevoer. Harry Wortley
het die rol van Sir Howard Hallam
gespeel. Daar is berig: H. Wortley
gave a polished performance beyond his years as the elderly British justice,
Sir Howard Hallam; his hands were
particularly indicative of age, both in action and make-up. (Koerantknipsel
bron onbekend)
Toneel uit Captain Brassbound’s Conversion
Op 27
Julie 1950 het die Bulawayo Tegniese skool The
Little Man tydens die speech night opgevoer en Harry het die rol van The little man gespeel. The
Speech Night audience this year was distinguished by the presence of the Prime
Minister. The Junior Section contributed
“the Mock Doctor,” and the Seniors presented Galsworthy’s “Little Man.” The latter is a difficult play for boys to
perform, lacking action and plot, and dependent for its success wholly on the
ability of the cast to convey the moral of its flimsy story. That this was conveyed, convincingly, is to
the real credit of the producer, Mr. Sayles, and to the very good work of his
cast. We know how good Harry Wortley can
be; he had little scope in this, but his
carefully subdued “Little Man: was an essential factor in the success of the
play; he looked and was the “Little
Man”. (Bulawayo Technical School
Magazine, Vol. III. No 3. November 1950)
In
1950 was Harry verkies tot skoolprefek vir die Bulawayo Technical School.
Harry
het ook Akademies goed gevaar. In November 1949 het hy deel 1 en in November
1950, deel II van sy National Technical
Certificate, Certificate of Training vanaf die Departement of Mynwese van
Suidelike Rhodesia ontvang. Hierna het
hy ‘n Nasionale Tegniese Sertifikaat op 15 Februarie 1950 (deel 1) en 15
Februarie 1951 (deel II) gekry by die Unie Onderwysdepartement. Certificate
of Training received by Harry Beresford Wortley during the five-year course
comprising two years in the Mining Department of the Bulawayo Technical School
and three years’ apprenticeship on the Rhodesia Chrome Mines. (Note:
All examinations are conducted by the Union of South Africa. Department of Education for National Technical
Certificates) Examination subjects
passed: Mathematics II; Chemistry I;
Geology I (Dist.); Geology
II; Mechanical Engineering I; Power Plant;
Metallurgy of Gold; Principles of
Mining I; Principles of Mining II; surveying I;
Surveying II; and Mining
Economics I.
Op 8
Februarie 1951 het Harry by die Rhodesia Chrome Mines, Limited as ‘n Apprentice
Miner, begin werk. Hy was toe 18 jaar
oud. Hier het hy sy vakmanskap in myn
landmeting in Selukwe gedoen.

The Gwelo ferrochrome plant, which has a
production capacity of approximately 8,000 long tons per annum, began
production in 1953. It enjoys the
advantage of being situated on the main line of the Rhodesia Railways, in a
position which affords it convenient outlet for its produce via Lourenco
Marques or Beira. It is only 23 miles by
rail from the Selukwe chrome mines, and has access by rail to the Kildonan
mines of the Northern Dyke. Low cost
coal and coke are brought in by rail from Wankie. An adequate surplus of generating capacity is
available at the nearby Umniati power station to insure firm supplies. (The Manufacturing Economy of Southern
Rhodesia: Problems and Prospects By
Leonard Tow) Sy besoldiging word as
(pond)12.10. per maand aangegee (pending results of Technical College
Examinations)
Harry
Hierna
het hy vir ongeveer ‘n jaar in Noord Rhodesia op die kopermyne gewerk.
The first major copper producer in the
region was in Katanga, where Belgium’s powerful Societe Generale controlled the
union Miniere, with British participation channelled through Robert Williams’s
Tanganyika Concessions Company(Tanks).
Much later, in 1952 Tanks became part of the Anglo American group. (King
Solomon's Mines Revisited: Western Interests and the Burdened History ... By
William Minter) Daarna op ‘n myn claims
in die bos vir ‘n firma in Salisbury en is daarna terug na Selukwe. Op 10 Februarie 1954 het hy ‘n Sertificate of Training van die
Departement van mynwese in Suid Rhodesië ontvang. Die mining school advisory board skryf op 19
Februarie 1954: I have pleasure in forwarding you Certificate of Training No. 65 which
has been awarded to you in respect of the five-year course that you have just
completed under the suspices of this Board. en op 19 Februarie 1954 het hy
die Certificate of Training vir 5
jaar kursus voltooi vanaf die Mining
School Advisory Board Bulawayo ontvang.

Deurentyd
het Harry voortgegaan met sy betrokkenheid met opvoerings. Die Selukwe spelers het Shop at Sly Corner op 15 Mei 1951 vir ‘n groot gehoor wat dit baie
geniet het, opgevoer. Daar was
geskryf: What appealed to the Selukweites is the fact that the younger
generation have at last come into their own, for in Priscilla Carter, as Joan
Peel, and Harry Wortley, as the young ships doctor, Robert Grahamand Gordon
Phillips, as Archie the blackmailer, we have talent for years to come.
(Koerantknipsel – bron onbekend)
Na die
Selukwe spelers se opvoering van There’s
always a Murder by die Plaza Theatre is berig: Topping
the cast in the leading parts were Joan Hosie and Guy Wilson as the
newly-married couple who move into a Boston apartment where the atmosphere
thickens steadily with the aftermath of a crime; Harry Wortley as the original tenent, Steve
Haywood, who is not quite as wicked as everyone imagines; Loraine Murphy and Jeanne Ritchie as
girl-friends of Haywood and his vanished half-brother (bits of whom turn out to
have been sharing occupation of the flat with the new tenants all the time). Harry Wortley brought valuable experience to
his creation of a sinister atmosphere, although he is obviously more at homein
lighter and more likeable roles. Jeanne
Ritchie, who started rehearsals as Rosalind and took over the very different
part of the sophisticated society girl Katherine Horton at the last minte, made
a gallant attempt (in her first stage performance) to overcome her natural
appearance of naïve youth and innocence, but the last minute revelation of her
criminal character was inevitably unconvincing.
She merits special praise for some blood chilling stage screams.
In die
Amateurteater is die komedie Sailor Beware op Vrydag die 13de Maart
1959 opgevoer, soos berig in The Gwelo
Times. In hierdie produksie het
Harry saam met Bill Magness, Veronica Frith, Eileen Roberts, Malcolm Render en
Wally Bryan opgetree. As Carnoustie Bligh, his bestman, Harry
Wortley was entirely delightful, and the right mixture of bashful boy and canny
Scot came as easily to this ‘Sassenach from Selukwe’ as a Scottish accent. Daar word verder berig: But it
was Wally’s side-kick and best man, the sailor Carnoustie, played by Harry
Wortley at seven day’s notice, who took many of the scenes. His quiet, restraint anddrollery was an ideal
contrast to most of the players. (Koerantknipsel – bron onbekend)
Harry het himself vir peace training geregistreer
The Institution of Mining and Metallurgy,
founded 1892 Incorporated by Royal Charter 1915 het
‘n sertifikaat aan Harry uitgereik wat lees:
This is to certify that Harry
Beresford Wortley was elected a student of the Institution on the Tenth day of
December 1959. Witness our hands at
London this twenty second day of January 1960.
Harry
en Jeanne Ritchie het mekaar reeds van jongs af geken, aangesien sy saam met Harry
se suster Cynthia op skool was. Harry en
Jeanne het gemeenskaplike vriende, Peter en Madeleine gehad en hulle het saam begin
uitgaan en so het ‘n verhouding tussen Harry en Jeanne ontstaan. Harry
Beresford Wortley is op 6 Februarie 1960
in die Methodiste kerk in Selukwe met Jeanne Ritchie, die dogter van Joseph
Ritche en Eva Pricilla Stewart getroud.
As
getroude paartjie het Harry en Jeanne in Selukwe gewoon, waar Harry ‘n
landmeter op die myne was.
Harry en Jeanne
In
1962 het myne oor die hele Rhodesia begin om mense af te betaal en Harry was op
die lys van diegene wat moes gaan. Op 3
April 1962 lui die getuigskrif wat hy van Rhodesia Chrome Mines Limited
ontvang: Mr. H.B. Wortley was employed by this Company as a Learner Official
after having attended a Mining Course at the Bulawayo Technical School. He had 3 years practical training in
development, stoping, timbering, workshop, surveying etc., during which time he
did further study of mining subjects by correspondence. On completion of his 3 years training he was
engaged as an Assistant Mine Surveyor until 31 August 1955. Mr. Wortley was re-engeged on 1st
October 1958 as a Mine Surveyor and is still working for the Company in that
capacity. Mr. Wortley is a conscientious
and accurate Surveyor, who has carried out his work in a most efficient
manner. He has acquired a wide
experience in all branches of both surface and underground surveying. Mr. Wortley is a man of integrity and sober
habits. He has a very pleasant
personality and gets on well with his fellow workers. We shall be very sorry to lose his services. (en as byvoegsel) Mr. Wortley is also an excellent cook, tailor and hairdresser and I can
thoroughly recommend him in these capacities.
Great Zimbabwe is a ruined city in the
southeastern hills of Zimbabwe near Lake Mutirikwe and the town of Masvingo. It
was the capital of the Kingdom of Zimbabwe during the country's Late Iron
Age. Great Zimbabwe served as a royal
palace for the Zimbabwean monarch and would have been used as the seat of
political power. One of its most prominent features were the walls, some of
which were over five metres high and which were constructed without mortar.
Eventually the city was abandoned and fell into ruin. (Wikipedia)

Die
Durbanse munisipaliteit in Suid-Afrika het vir werkers gesoek en Harry het ‘n
pos daar gekry. Hy het as ‘n landmeter
daar gewerk. Jeanne het in die begin nie
gewerk nie, maar het later in ‘n dokter se spreekkamer gaan werk.
Terwyl
hulle in Durban gewoon het, het Harry al hoe meer by die kerk betrokke geraak
en dit het tot gevolg gehad dat hy sy amateur
dramatics moes verminder, hoewel hy nogsteeds daar betrokke was, soos
gesien kan word uit die volgende berigte.
The Daily News berig
op Donderdag, 10 April 1969, na die opening van Sunday in New York (9–19 April 1969) in die St. John Theater: There
is some excellent repartee – sometimes too quick to catch. Ane Somerville as Eileen Taylor and Harry
Wortley as Mike Mitchell excelled at this, although at times they were
unconvincing. In Critics’ corner: Harry
Wortley, as Mike Mitchell, the young man whom she meets on a bus, was
particularly good. His role called for
him to look harassed and loveable, something which he achieved very well.
The Natal Mercury berig
op Donderdag,10 April 1969, na aanleiding van
NAPAC se “She stoops to conque”: Anne (Sommerville) plays opposite Harry
Wortley, who makes his comeback on the Durban stage after a ‘self-imposed
exile’ and Peter Batchelor, well-known Durban acter and radio personality.
The Daily News van
22 Mei 1969 berig na aanleiding van die komedie Busybody: Peter Turner and Caroline Smart, as office
workers on the periphery of the main action, play with conviction and some
style, and Harry Wortley, David Abbott and Wendy Heckler do all that is
demanded of them.
Na
aanleiding van Woman with a past is
geskryf: A suspense thriller by Elizabeth Addyman, directed by Robert Dobson.
The Secret Tent (St. John’s Theatre) gains
its title from part of a psalm: Keep me, O God, in a secret tent from the trife
of tongues.” “Harry Wortley was adequate as Inspector Thornton and Elly
Ribbink, typical as Miss Mitchum-Browne, the local gossip. (Koerantknipsel – bron
onbekend) The Secret Tent is opgevoer
vanaf 25 Februarie tot 7 Maart 1970.
Harry
het himself verder verryk deur ‘n sertifikaat in eerstehulp te verwerf, want op
15 Julie 1970 ontvang hy die Advanced
Certificate in First Aid van The South African Red Cross Society for having
attended the prescribed course of Lectures and Demonstrations in the above
subject, and having passed the examination.
In hierdie tyd het hy ook ‘n 9 weke kursus in cake icing gedoen. Hy het die cake icing verskriklik geniet en dit was altyd ‘n reuse
sukses. (Laterjare het hy sy seun Paul
se troukoek ook self versier).
Hulle oudste
seun, Richard het gereeld brongitus gekry en die dokters het aanbeveel dat dit
vir hom beter sou wees om in ‘n droër klimaat te woon. Harry het
‘n assistant-winkelbestuurder pos in Nadi, in die Greytown area gekry. Die gesin het ongeveer 6 of 7 myl daarvandaan
gewoon en Jeanne het begin om ‘n groentetuin by hulle nuwe huis aan te lê. Die groentetuin was so suksesvol dat sy
groente, saam met konfyte en koeke wat sy ook gemaak het, op die market in
Greytown kon verkoop.
In
1971 het Harry besluit om sy eie winkel aan te skaf en het toe ‘n lease op ‘n
winkel in Ematimatolo gekry. Hierdie
winkel was nie suksesvol nie, want hierdie winkel was slegs ‘n myl van ‘n
Indiese winkel in Ahrens, wat al daar was vir ‘n aantal jare en wie se kliënte
baie lojaal teenoor hulle was, af weg.

bediendes voor
Hierna
het hulle ‘n ander lease op ‘n winkel wat beter geleë was, gekry. Omdat hy nog onervare in die bedryf was, het
baie van die reisigers hulle kans gesien om aan Harry produkte te verkoop wat
nie geskik was vir die besigheid nie.
Met die gevolg het hy baie waarde se voorraad in die winkel gehad wat
nie wou verkoop nie. Ten spyte van die
varke, hoenders, groente, konfyte en koeke wat hulle verkoop het om die
besigheid te help, moes hulle tog na 3 jaar die lease kanselleer. Spitzkop was about 40 miles away on the other
side of Greytown, almost exactly opposite Ahrens if you look at it as the crow
flies.
Hierna
het Harry in ‘n winkelop Carslogie, naby Ixopo gaan werk. Ixopo is a town
situated on a tributary of the Mkhomazi River in the midlands of KwaZulu-Natal,
South Africa and forms part of an important sugar farming, and forestry area.
(Wikipedia) Hy was die assistentbestuurder daar en Jeanne
het ook soms in die winkel gewerk. Ook
hier het sy groente gekweek en het ‘n klompie byekorwe aangehou. Terwyl hulle daar gewoon het, het Harry by
die Bible College aansoek te doen,
aangesien hy gehoop het om ‘n predikant te raak. Na 2 jaar op Carslogie, was hy aanvaar by die
Bible Institute in Kalkbaai.
Harry en sy gesin het in 1979 na Vishoek/Kalkbaai toe getrek. The
Metro railway line that runs from Muizenberg to Simon's Town right along the
sea, makes a bend around Fish Hoek's beautiful sandy beach. The beach is
popular with surfers and with families with children. Otherwise there is not
much else to do in Fish Hoek being a residential and shopping place. The
neighbouring village of Kalk Bay is more attractive for tourists. It doesn't
have much of a beach, but the little fishing harbour is lively and interesting.
In the afternoons the fishing boats come back and unload their catches. The
fish - mainly snoek - is immediately auctioned to dealers. Many artists live in Kalk Bay in the narrow
lanes with their authentic Victorian houses above Main Road. (Fish Hoek and Kalk Bay on the Cape peninsula
– South Africa)
Paul en Richard

Jeanne
het by die Naval Base in Simonstad
gaan werk en Harry het vir ‘n jaar aan die Bybel Instutuut studeer. Na die jaar het hy sy studies gestaak en het
hy werk gekry by ‘n konstruksiemaatskappy wat heinings opgesit het. Hy het daar gewerk tot September 1979. Hierna het hulle Kuilsrivier toe getrek het
toe een van sy kontakte in die kerk vir
hom gehelp het om ‘n werk by die Staats Landmeters Departement in Mowbray, wat
beter betaal het en waarvan die omstandighede beter was, te kry.

Op 26
Februarie 1980 het Harry en Jeanne albei die Examination certificate for satisfactorily completed the course of the
Committee For External Studies in the subject of Doctrine I – Moore Theological
College ontvang. En op 31 Mei 1983
hulle sertifikate van die Cape
Evangelical Bible Institute vir die suksesvolle afhandeling van die Old Testament Law and History. Op 3 Maart 1985 het Harry Churchwarden in die Parish
van Bellville in die Church of the
Province of South Africa
geraak.
Op 3
Maart 1985 word Harry deur George Henry Sylvester, Archdeacon of Bellville
admit to the office of churchwarden in die Parish of Bellville (Church of the
Province of South Africa – Diocese of Cape Town)
Hy het
voortgegaan om homself te kwalifiseer en op 20 November 1987 het hy die
sertifikaat van die Instituut vir Opleiding, vir die kursus/seminaar in Junior Managers verwerf. Op 18 Desember 1987 skryf die Departement van
Openbare werke en grondsake: The Department has noted with satisfaction
that you have successfully completed the course for Junior Managers which was
presented by the Training Institute of the Commission for Administration.
Harry
het by die Staats Landmeters Departement in Mowbray gewerk, totdat hy op 24
September 1997 aan hartversaking sterf, skaars ‘n maand voordat hy sou
aftree. Die dag van sy aftrede was iets
waarna hy baie uitgesien het, maar dit was hom nie beskore nie. Hy het op
Kuisrivier gewoon tot sy dood.
Hy is
veras en begrawe by die Holy Trinity kerk in Kalkbaai.
Na sy
dood het sy vrou Jeanne vir ‘n aantal jare in Kaapstad gewoon, waarna sy na
Engeland toe is, waar sy as ‘n carer
gewerk het tot haar dood op 12/07/2012, Bexley Heath. Sy is dood aan bloedkanker.
