My grandfather was James Deacon ( born 1887- country I think South Africa) and he married Helen Martin.
From What I understand they lived in Randfontein West Rand South Africa.
My grandfather was in the mining industry and my grand mother was a school teacher.
As both my parents are deceased and my interest in a family history is new information is scarce.
I am aware of a link to the Deacons from England who came to the Eastern Cape ( apparently 3 brothers??) and am hoping this may lead me to further information or contacts
I am looking for information on the parents of Hester Petronella Frederika Potgieter, born 3 October 1854 and her sister Sara Johanna Potgieter. Hester married Carl Friedrich Wilhem Appel and her sister Sara married Carl's brother August Simon Friedrich Appel.
Hester and Sara were born in Uitenhage, therefor I assume that their parents lived in Uitenhage at that time. Hester's father might be Hermanus Lambertus Potgieter, as her second son was named Hermanus Lambertus. Unfortunately there are numeroous Hermanus Lambertus Potgieters. I couldn't find one from Uitenhage.

Maud Schultz married Harry MacDermott in Kimberley on 1 October 1908. They went to the USA, where thery had a daughter Audrey in 1915. I am Audrey's daughter. I believe Maud Schultz had at least one sibling in Kimberley, but that she lost contact with the South African branch of the family. I would like to find any relatives of Maud Schultz.
