Can anyone help me establish which of these Trent men were actually South African. I Know Ae, Ec and Jt are my Grandfather and his brother's but I am trying to confirm if the other's were family. Also one of the G Trent's is family, but not sure which one.

Bean,

I had a look for the A, GA and W in FindMyPast to see whether their records survived but did not find them listed. These would have confirmed their nationality.

Could you search for estate records created if they died in SA?

Many thank for your reply.
I am not finding anything on the SA National archives either website either.
Unfortunately I do not live in SA anymore so cannot visit any of the repositories personally.
Best regards
