Looking for my gran Violet May simpson born around 1905

Question

Searching for Violet May Simpson.  Born I believe Ireland / England around 1900's.  Came to South africa.  She married a Schultz.  Had two sons that I know of.  My dad and his brother (Morris and Henry).  Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Can you give any dates at all for Violet or when she married the Schultz or the sons.  I did find 19 Violet M. Schultz in find a grave but if you can give me something I can tell you where she is buried. There are too many to take a wild guess at this. I did narrow it down some since you said she was born around 1900. But there are about 15 who could fit, so if you can give some dates and maybe we can find her. Thanks Nancy

Hi Nancy,

 

I have attached mine and my fathers birth certificates which I received.  There is not much to go on.  I spoke to my sister and she says that Violet May Simpson (born) was not married to my fathers father. On the birth certificate she signed as Schultz.  So I am not sure if she married a Schultz then had my dad.  I have documents from my dad where signed as Violet May Simpson.  My dad was born in 1921 (Morris A van Niekerk) and his brother Henry a few years later.  We were always told she was Irish / British.  She died between 1970 and 1980 according to my sister.
