Beatrice Marian Bromley nee Nightingale
Looking for someone who is very familiar with Beatrice Marian Bromley nee Nightingale.
My grandad is Colin Percy Montford Bromley - Born 20 March 1890.
When I check the Edward Bromley Records, I found that he was married to Beatrice Marian Nightingale. They had 2 children and it appears that my grandad was one of them.
I have attached a photo of a painting of him that my mom commissioned .

where did Beatrice live?

Dennis, my grandmother Elsie Sophia Theron. She was married to Colin Percy Montford Bromley. She was born in the Fauresmith-Jagersfontein area in the Orange Free State. All of my grandmothers family lived in the same area, My mother was born in Bethlehem OFS, her one sister was born in Fauresmith OFS and I believe that the last sister was born either in Jagersfontein OFS or Ladysmith Natal.
I have no idea where Beatrice lived, but her husband was a district engineer - miner at the Jagersfontein mine, so I can only assume that until the death of her husband Edward Bromley, that she lived in that region.
If you look at the death notice for Edward Bromley, you will see that Colin was 10 when this Edward Bromley died, as per Beatrice Marian Bromley nee Nightingale, and as I said he was born on 20 March 1890, which would make him the age as stated.
My grandfather was a engineer of some sort, maybe a draughtsman. He died on 6th September 1972 in Port Elizabeth.
I have attached the death certificate and the gravestone of Edward, need to conclusively validate the lineage before I move further.
Thanks for any insight that you can provide
