Hi all,
I hope someone can help me.
I am looking for more information about Charles Matthew / Karl Mathias Strandberg. All I know about him is that he went to South Africa sometime before 1902. The story goes that he was a stowaway. He has been listed as a prisoner of war at St Helena in 1902 during the Anglo-Boer war; this is also something that has been told to my mother. He was married to Nicolaas Sina Susara (neé Botha), who died in 1916, and, in 1904, they had a daughter Maria Matilda. That's it...
I have seen records of a Charles Matthew Strandberg who went to South Africa in 1918 with his sisters and daughter. He was married to someone else. I do not know if this is the same person. Maybe he went back to Sweden after his first wife died?
