Eileen Murphy Jourbet
« on: Monday 14 February 22 19:37 GMT (UK) »
Eileen Murphy born Co Cork Ireland in mid 1920's -1930 parents James Murphy & Mary Riordan. I believe Eileen married a Jourbet. Her siblings also lived in South Africa i.e Sheila Murphy Campbell, Anna Allen. I know their mother died in Durban 15th May 1977 Mary Murphy. Any information on this family appreciated. Thank you

Is it Joubert? That’s a common Afrikaner name. Huguenot origin, I believe.

Here is a link to a photograph of her & her mother's tombstone
https://www.graves-at-eggsa.org/main.php?g2_itemId=3209253

There was an estate file lodged when she died - you would need to subscribe to gendatabase.com to access the number EILEEN   JOUBERT         (d) 29/11/2011   VIEW RECORD   ESTATE FILE
 Once you have that you could apply to the Masters Office for a copy of the estate which may give you the details .
