I'm searching for any extended family in South Africa, some of whom (the BROWNELLs) I last met in Cape Town in 1993, but who are no longer living.
Are there any descendants out there of Charles WEISBECKER (b 1829 Cork, Ireland; d 1915 Cape Town) and Lolah Anne de BEAUREGARD (b 1844 Yorkshire; d 1933 Cape Town)?
Their daughters Lolah ('Annie'), Vida and Augusta ('Gussie') visited my family in England in the 1920s and 30s. None married, but their sisters Theckla and Stella married a NICHOLSON and KISCH respectively, the NICHOLSON daughters then marrying a FENLON and BROWNELL.
The younger Lolah (b 1876 Brentford, Mddx.) had two family portraits by my 3+great grandfather Thomas Harrington Wilson, which I would love to trace to have copies made - particularly one of my 4+great grandmother Susannah HIGHAM née CRESPEL.
Should anyone know of any of this family in South Africa (still most likely in the Cape), I would be delighted to hear. Thank you.
