It seems that 70 Atkinson's immigrated to South Africa 1800 - 1901.    My paternal grandfather was Frank and he married and lived in Uitenhage near Port Elizabeth in the Cape.   My father was Leopold.  Some of his son's married German women and lived most of their lives and had families in the old South West Africa,   and I do recall one cousin I have named Gustav whom I think now resides in Uitenhage and worked at Volkswagen South Africa.  I seem to recall talk of Atkinson from Somerset in England but then am not sure if it was grandmother's family but also the city of Eastbourne in England came up.  I was appreciate any assistance tracing my grandfather's date of birth death and family history back to UK.   With thanks
