Hi Ches
Yes, my grandmother's family were from Holland, I believe, so she definitely had an Afrikaaner heritage. The photograph I have of her when she was in her late teens I would think, was taken in Pretoria, (so, in the right area) the photographer's name was "Bowers". This information was printed on the bottom of the photograph. She also looks to be wearing a nurses watch and chain.

If your family had a decorated Boer general then there could be a link somewhere along the line, because they were tough people who fought a tough war, and Annie was certainly a tough and resilient person herself. One of Annie's brothers, who attended her marriage to the british soldier, was called Peter (Pieter?) and that is the extent of our knowledge.

Would you like to see a copy of the photographs I have, maybe you have some photographs of your grandmothers family or wedding photographs which you could compare?
