I am searching for relatives related to my grandfather Robert Lawrence Brown. All I know is his father was a Lawrence Brown and his mother was a Anne Caroline (nee Luyt)
Also looking for Giloway relatives related to Fredrik Lodewyk Giloway, married to Elizabeth Magelina Ann (nee Luyt) whose father was Johannes Giloway 1875, married to Beatrix Jacoba Villa. Apparently the Luyt sisters are related to the Browns somewhere in the lines. I have no living relatives left now in Sth Africa that I know of.

Hi
There is this Estate in the Cape Archives
DEPOT KAB
SOURCE MOOC
TYPE LEER
VOLUME_NO 6/9/19474
SYSTEM 01
REFERENCE 1738/52
PART 1
DESCRIPTION BROWN, ANNE CAROLINE. BORN LUYT. ESTATE PAPERS.
STARTING 19520000
ENDING 19520000
Unfortunatelly it's not included in the records on familysearch.org so you will need to contact the Archives directly for a copy - they charge R1/page to copy.
The DN included in the estate file should give you the details of any heirs and may include her parentage. I did not see an estate file for her husband but this should give you an indication if he pre-deceased her.
Regards
Gillian
