Hi

I have a Turnbull in my family tree, my mother-in-law's grandmother.
Her name was Elizabeth Margaret Turnbull, b. 30 November 1904 - d. 1954 in Umthatha.
Not sure if she was born in South Africa or if her family came here from England.
Her father was George Davidson Thomas Turnbull - possibly b.1883 - 1920 in Pretoria. If the one match suggestion is correct, he married an Annie Catharina Vermeulen. And apart from Elizabeth had a son also called George Davidson Thomas Turnbull (b.1905) (He possibly married a Cornelia Maria Malan).
Elizabeth married a Johannes Petrus Mattheé (b.1903 - d. 1970). They had 9 children of which one was also called George Davidson Thomas (Mattheé).
Also, one of the Georges worked as an entertainer for Pringle Circus and the Boswell (Wilkie)Circus.

Any help, please?

I would really like to know if these Turnbulls were English or Scottish Turnbulls.

Regards
Natasha

Hi Natasha,

I replied to your Facebook Post with the following:

George Davidson Thomas Turnbull was the son of Robert Richard Turnbull and Mary Ann O'Brien. Robert Richard's younger brother was Davis or Davidson Turnbull who was first married to Rosina Hyland and then Catharina Adriana Aletta Russouw . My wife's family is connected via Elizabeth Margaret Best (Stewart) born Turnbull, GDTT's sister. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSQF-V9M6-8?i=1587...
