Inel and I were sleuthing this morning, she is in Cowra, New South Wales, Australia and I am in Cape Town, South Africa. Inel is sending me photos from a little treasure of a book, our Nan's Birthday Book, trying to get some details about our maternal grandparents.
I do not know much.
Their birthdays are 29 May for Nellie and 26 February for Pa, he was nick-named Bill, wonder what the H stands for?

This is wonderful.
An entry for Mom's birthday in the book, this is earliest bit of her handwriting that we have unearthed.
107 Vos Street (with spelling corrected) would have been in Sunnyside, Pretoria, her family home before they move to Vanderbijlpark.
