After a few years of teaching, Nancy met fellow teacher Thomas William Burns and they were then married. Five children were born . Four were girls and one son. the second youngest was Daphne Christina who was born in 1944.  Thomas died in 1955 and Nancy was left to rear her children on her own.

Daphne completed her standard 8 (grade10) and then continued her education at her mother's Alma mater Zonnebloem College .After completing her training as a teacher after two years, she married Kenneth John Bost. After five years and after the birth of two daughter, Kenneth died in a car accident. Daphne then continued studying and completed a higher education diploma at the Hewat Training College then completed a course in special education at the University of the Western Cape.

After after teaching at various schools , she started in a post at the Eros School for Cerebral Palsy and  remained there till she retired in 1996. After retirement , she started an Occupational Therapy group for those adults who cannot attend the Workshops because they are severely mentally and physically challenged.

It was an interesting journey researching the family history for ten years. It is not completed as there are still so many blanks to be filled.This will involve a lot of travelling and hopefully will be completed after a few years.
