Hi
Welcome to Rootschat :)
Sorry don t know a lot about South Africa records, but www.familysearch.org have some records for the surname in South Africa.
https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results?surname=marsberg&any_place=south%20africa&count=20&offset=0

No obvious candidates but perhaps you may recognise a name.
There is this site which I have never used and not quite sure how it works and it is a pay for information site.
Mostly death records but not sure what you would get for your money so be cautious. Some of the records may also be on the previous site.
https://www.identitynumber.org/death-notices-results.php?surname=MARSBERG

Hopefully someone else might have a better idea.

Hi. The two mentioned Marsbergs are definitely my grandparents, Henry James and Gertruide Maria Marsberg.
Any reference to Marsbergs in America, Australia or UK, are not the immediate relatives of my grandfather that I'm looking for.
Thank you.
Kind regards
Leilanie
