Hi Juliet,
My grandmother was a Van Heerden before she married, from Ermelo in the then eastern Transvaal. Her family was Afrikaans, though, and it sounds like your grandmother was on the English side in the Boer war. My grandmother's family were very much playing for the "other team" (one was a decorated Boer general), although if your grandmother's family disowned her for marrying an Englishman, she could have an Afrikaaner heritage.
