O’Neil’s Cottage by Mandy Edwards

Hello Marty, my name is Mandy Edwards, (nee Scott). My grandmother was Maria Magdalena O'Neil, she was 1 of 13 children and as far as I know was born in the concentration camp in Bloemfontein. I also only knew 1 of her sisters, Anna Hayward, who lived on a small holding in Brakpan. My gran had 5 children, one of them being my dad, Charles Edward Scott. Him and his siblings all went to school in Belfast as thats where my gran grew up. I think that we are from John O'NEIL's side of the family but am not even sure of that. I would love to be in contact with you. My email is . Look forward to hearing from you
