Have you asked her about his parentage & where he was born?  Details of living persons is not allowed but it is permitted to post details of anybody who is deceased. 

She could also supply you with details of her father

If you have her contact details it seems the most logical way to obtain the information about both Bradley & Milne

Unfortunately she did not have the information. Both the living person and myself are working together to try and find information.
They married long after JBB’s parents had passed. And was seldom spoken of.

Nothing noted on the wedding certificate or in the estate file.

His date of birth is 09 May 1951. I’m guessing that most information would still be protected under the personal information act.

She must know where he was born?  If he is dead - you can post info about him.

Two
Alexander Henderson Milne date of birth circa 1929. Date of passing unknown. Alex married in 1952 and later divorced. The copy of the marriage registration states he was born in Cape. Any information here would be helpful. Parents/ remarriage?

When we expand the rather brief details for #2 the result is:

Alexander Henderson MILNE b abt 1928 Cape Town, occ: Traffic Inspector (1952)

X 5 Jan 1952 Johannesburg Tvl https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS27-G35F-N

Margaret Lilian Elsie PIENAAR b abt 5 apr 1932 Tvl, d 18 May 2002 (NB estate in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal)


And with this information,  the following can be found in the archives as part of their divorce details (abt 1970),:
JUDICIAL SEPARATION. MARGARET LILIAN MILNE VERSUS (1) ALEXANDER (2) MARGO HATTINGH

“MARGO(T) HATTINGH” is mentioned in the archives as follows:
MARGOT HATTINGH (FORMERLY ANDREWS, BORN CROUGH) VERSUS RONALD CHARLES ANDREWS” 
MARGOT HATTINGH VERSUS JOSIAS ALEXANDER HATTINGH
DIVORCE. MARGOT HATTINGH (BORN CROUCH, FORMERLY ANDREWS) VERSUS JOSIAS ALEXANDER

Finally, there is a widow Margot MILNE (nee CROUCH) b 20 May 1933, d 27 Mar 2003 (place of death: JHB) mentioned among the Pretoria estates. Her husband was Alexander MILNE.
And, with Margot’s name as spouse, there is an Alexander MILNE b 17 Mar 1928, d Sep 1982 ….

His late wife was Margaret Tannahill Smith nee Cain. Born 1928 in Scotland. Date of passing unknown.

Typo?  scotlands people has this birth 1908

CAIN
MARGARET TANNAH
F
1908

Modified to add. There is this memorial stone in Scotland. I think it reads she is 28 or 29 (not 30/31)

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/215958558/margaret-tannahill-smith

But no death record to match.


FYI
PaulC82 should have mentioned that Margaret's background has already been researched previously.

Hi TreeSpirit,

Thank you for your help. I had no idea that you could access divorce records in such detail. Thank you.

WRT Margaret Tannahill Cain- I will now know that I should mention what has been established.
Everyday is a learning.

Thank you so much for the above.
