Can anyone help?
My wife
Charmaine Duguid (nee Ferriera) has been trying to find information about her
mother’s family for many years. Her mother (Johanna Ferreira) died last
week and for some reason never disclosed information about her birth
family. At the very end when she was very frail (with advanced pneumonia)
she wanted us to notify all her family. We don’t know what her reasons
were for being estranged from her family and we don’t really care, we would
just like to get in touch with them and to notify them of her passing and would
be really grateful if you could help. We have the death notice from the doctor
if you should need a copy. The details we have are as follows:
1) Full Name: Johanna Christina
Gertruida Ferreira (Maiden name: Pieterse) AKA “Joey”.
Born: 19th
December 1947 to father David Jacobus Pieterse (who was born in SA) and Mother:
Maria Dorothea Botha, (also born in SA).
Birth
Place: 5 Porter Cement Homes, Arcadia, Salisbury.
Birth
certificate Entry Number: SBY/1162/47. Date of Reg: 06th December
1947.
Further
info: James Duguid [zamgeobo@zol.co.zw]
2) Joey married Daniel. C. O’Connell in
around 1969 and had two children by him, Ryan (born 23rd August
1969) and Magdalina (born 9th April 1971). She then got divorced around
1973. She then gave birth to Rodney on 14th April 1974. (the
birth certificate claims the father was “unknown”).
3) Joey then got re-married to Andries
Hendrik Ferreira on 23rd January 1976, whom she was married to until
his death on the 3rd January 2000. She had to children with Andries,
Charmaine (born 1976) and Adrian (born 1978).
What we are
seeking is any information pertaining to Joey’s parents and her brothers and
sisters. We are not certain of any names for her siblings but would
desperately want to find out their names and get in touch with them. They
were likely also born in the then Salisbury.
Any help
would be greatly appreciated,
Regards,
James
Duguid.
