Olsen Family

[chat9]

Looking for any information on the Olsen Family that lived in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. Mikael Olsen (b. 1883 in Norway d. 1937 in Durban) married Florence Beatrice Durrant (father Lewis Durrant and Mother Sarah). We know that Mikael had a sister and a brother but unsure of their names and relations. Mikael's father was Ole Isaksen.  Any information on Mikael and his family from Norway will be appreciated.
