I seem to be banging my head on a brick wall trying to find the marriage of my maternal Grandparents - Andre Levy-Strauss & Elizabeth Smith, and the subsequent death of GdFather( in it's said,an argument). They originally went out to Freetown as GdFthr was a mining engineer, and according to family gossip married there(or possibly not!) but then moved to the Cape Town area, though where exactly I do not know. All attempts to find info. on them have come to nothing. Anyone out there have ANY ideas please?
