Help with research of grandparents

ShaneVermaak0511

Hallo to all ..

I have hit a brickwall with my research in tracing my grandmother's documentation ..

There just seems to be no records..

I also require info about my grandmother's parents...my great grandmother

Any assistance out there would be much appreciated...

I managed to find the marriage certificate

My Grandmother

Mary Magdalene Noël

Born 1911/09/09

Born in Mafekeng / Mafikeng Bechuanaland

Married to Joseph Felix Noël

Looking at Marys marriage https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS23-G9H4-N compare the witnesses signature of G H Going to this Geralds signature on his marriages https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJY-NS11-J and https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS2Q-L7RQ-8 I would say this is her brother. Unfortunately his 1976 estate does not list parents https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QHV-Z3C7-CDFG?i=1306&cat=2272079

Given the unusual surname and location I would say he is named after his father Gerald, whos marriage is here https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C91X-DQTT-9?i=377&cat=629239 This couples civil deaths are here https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9BY-F8B5 and here https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-G5FC-SX1C?i=107 with her headstone here https://www.graves-at-eggsa.org/main.php?g2_itemId=3849671 unfortunately no estates for either of them to show their children.

I suspect this is another child of the couple https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9Q97-Y3Q3-V6J? and that Gerald snr is this man shown here https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GWSS-5HR Gerald snrs brother Francis on the tree shows his children appear to be accounted for, and the other brother Charles dies 1903, so he cant be Marys father
