Hi Rohan. My Grandfather's name was Joe Andrews and his sons were Chris Diesch Andrews and Joe Andrews. They were my uncles. My mother was Susanna Maria Andrews. Apparently (according to handed down stories) the surname Diesch was dropped somewhere along the line to hide a Jewish connection. My great grandfather had a farm in Cullinan. Some of the family stories were that one of the Great great grandparents had married a Jew and was then disowned. I think her family, or his family owned valuable property or business around Trafalgar Square in London.

I would also like to know anything of interest about the family.
