Title: van Biljon Family
Post by: chat9 on Wednesday 25 December 19 17:22 GMT (UK)

Looking for any information on Andries Stephanus van Biljon (born 1899, possibly in bloemfontein). He was married to Catharina Petronella Nel (b. 2 March 1910 d. 12 October 1987). They had 3 children: Willem Jacobus van Biljon, Katrina Petronella van Biljon and Andries van Biljon. The family lived in Bloemfontein for a short period.

Catharina Petronella van Biljon (nee Nel) then married James Motley, following her divorce or the death of Andries (not sure about what happened).  ::)

Modified to add:
Oh, Maybe not the same man, as I see he married Catherina in 1930
