Many thanks for responding.
I have really little more on the Dreyer family other than that which I posted. Only additional info is that Japie Dreyer was the owner, or perhaps manager, of Lindsay Motors in 1948. This firm may well have been in KROONSTAD where the family evidently lived.
If Japie and Maie Dreyer did have a son, his name was probably Leslie. I have a photo taken 1948 in which he is holding a dog called "Hootch". With him in the photo are Maie, Hilary and Denise, presumably his mother and two of his sisters, but that is not substantiated. He may have been the boy-friend of Denise.
I should perhaps add for clarity that Mary (Maie) Gentles Dreyer was still a SMITH when she emigrated to South Africa with her Aunt. She married Japie DREYER in South Africa.
All my information in this and in the first posting comes from notes on the back of photos sent to my mother in England by her sister Maie Gentles Dreyer, née Smith, in the 1940s. Unfortunately I have no old addresses for the Dreyer family and there is no-one left in my mother's family who could help.
It would be really fantastic if you managed to find anything else on this Dreyer family as I would dearly love to contact any descendants.
Best wishes
Douglas.
