See Discussion: https://www.geni.com/discussions/96258?msg=1146657 "My mother is a daughter of Baby Michael Doubell and Maria Olivier. I was told the story about my great grandfather being a strongman in the circus. His wife, so the story goes was a 'pianist' and not happy in South Africa went back home. 'Baby' was a drunk and passed away before I was born in 1957. My grandmother died around 1966. My mothers birth name was Baby Josephine (she changed it) born in 1929 - Her brothers were George and Fred and sisters Magdalene, Freda, Doris, Helen and a younger sister who died at about 5yrs.

Baby Doubell in an Article About the San in the Uitenhage Area:
[http://www.goandproclaim.co.za/downloads/file/Pray%20for%20the%20Sa...] A sad part of their history is recorded in the following information pamphlet of the information office at Groendal:” Groendal State Forest has a long and very interesting history. It was discovered during the period between 1843 to1880 that the Bushmen’s last stronghold was between the Gamtoos and the Kei Rivers. They were trapped between the Whites to the West and the Xhosas to the East. This area offered sanctuaries in the inaccessible kloofs and vertical rock faces of the Winterhoek Mountains, behind the site of the present Groendal Dam. Raids by Bushmen on the farms give rise to reprisals. The Bushmen drove many cattle into the Groot Winterhoek Mountains. Theft from transport wagons which traveled from Port Elizabeth and Graaf-Reinett were common. The regular outspan place at the Swartkops River near Uitenhage was often the scene of thefts by Bushmen. A sixteen-year-old boy, “baby” Doubell, was watching his fathers cattle one day near the Uitenhage fountains when the Bushmen stole the cattle and herded them into the Groot Winterhoek Mountains(Groendal). Young Doubell followed the Bushmen into Blinde Kloof (also known as Droe kloof). The search led to the branch of Blinde Kloof, known as Skelm Kloof. Doubell saw his father’s cattle in the bushy ravine below, which was cut off on one side by a stone wall. Doubell returned to Uitenhage and a Boer commando retrieved the cattle. Most of the Bushmen were shot and their graves can still be seen on the farm Hill Place near the Wilderness Area.”
