Hi Willie,

It appears Willem Izak Louw DE VILLIERS was married to Johanna Maria DU
PLESSIS. Johanna died in 1922. Willem then married a second time to Maria
Magdalena SNYMAN. I found the following references on NAAIRS. Perhaps some
kind soul will look-up these death notices for you, which should answer some
of your questions and confirm your given names at birth.

in August or September 1938 in the OFS. My father, Willem Louw de Villiers was
52 when he died in 1939 in Pretoria. They had three chidren Leonard, born
about 1926, Yvonne, born about 1931 and me, Willie de Villiers Millard (my
adopted name). I believe my given name at birth was Christiaan Snyman de
Villiers.
