I am looking for information regarding the above people. They are my husbands great grandparents. Maria emigrated to Australia in 1913 with 5 children, Edward, Kathleen, Maime, Alexandra, and Alice. I have baptism information for Edward, Alexandra, Alice and Kathleen who were baptized in Durban, Natal, South Africa (Methodist Parish Records).
I have no information on when their father Edward emigrated to Australia since he did not travel with Maria and the children. I do not know his dob or where he was born or his parents, etc.
I have a possible birth year for Maria of 1870 but do not know where she was born or who her parents were.
My mother in law told me that they were descendants of the Dutch who migrated to Africa but I don't know when. The only information she had was a photo of Maria and her name.
If anyone can help fill in the gaps I would appreciate it.
