Hi Anders,

I found something (with the help of a South African Geneology group on Facebook)

This is Charles Matthew Strandberg's Death Notice from 1939. It's in Afrikaans, but translates to:

So, now I know his father and mother's names (although I doubt his father's name was Charles Matthew, more likely Karl Mathias).

Exciting!

Kind regards
