Visser family from Britstown South African
« on: Wednesday 23 July 14 07:26 BST (UK) »
I am seeking information of the Visser family who stayed on the Smart Syndicate near Britstown. My mother was Hester Catherine Born in 1930.

They were of Irish origin. Sisters and brothers were Martha,Albrecht, Ary,Thomas,Thos,and I think their parents wereLouisa and Hendrik or Ary. My mother was married to David Clement Porter.

They don't sound very Irish.  ;D

As well as what is Britstown, what is Smart Syndicate? :-\

It might help if you can explain exactly what information you are looking for regarding this family. At the moment it is a little unclear.

If you can give names, dates and places etc and what you already know, and then tell us what you are hoping to find out, that would be good.  :)

Not Irish with names like Albrecht & Hendrik.
3 in 1901 all male in lodgings in North Dock Dublin, seamen I would imagine.
& 1 in 1911 in Antrim, another seaman.
