#13 should read REBECCA ALICE JACKSON NEE NYBERG ( and not nee Jackson).
The following is the Marriage Record for her brother:

ALFRED ISAAC MYBERG 25 Bachelor
HELEN BREMNER CAMPBELL 21 Spinster

Nb This record indicates that Isaac Alfred had changed his surname from Nyberg to Myberg and adopted the first name Alfred. However when his brother Isadore died in 1938 he is recorded as Isaac Alfred Nyberg.
What the reason for the change of surname is not known.Phillip-Jewish,British Ancestry

In this post part of the Will of Samuel Crawcour 1837-1923 son of Isaac Crawcour and Esther Cashmore and brother of Alice NYBERG nee Crawcour shows the issue if Jews married out of the Jewish customs.
In his will Samuel stated.." If any annuitant or persons having any benefits under this my will shall marry a person not born a Jew though professing Judaism or shall foresake the Jewish religion and adopt the Christian or any other form of religion then in every such case as and from the discovery of such event or occurrences such person shall absolutely forfeit all share and benefits under this my will..."
Samuel Crawcour left £39326 to his daughters, granddaughters and great grandchildren.
His relatives disputed this aspect of the Will and it went to the High Court of Australia who over ruled this bequest restriction. I will post data regarding the Court case if possible.
Alice Nyberg nee Crawcour was still alive when her brother died. What her own thoughts were regarding her own children marrying out of the Jewish customs/religion is not known but her will posted on the previous post may explain why she left nothing to her children other than to Isisore and a brooch to Nellie. Isidore in his probate assets/liabilities had made payment for a Jewish burial. Whereas his siblings converted to Christianity and married non Jews.Phillip-Jewish,British Ancestry

This post provides an update on Alice Nyberg and her children Isaac, Isadore,Esther, Rebecca.
The 1902 Passenger records show:
Dec 1902 on the "Sophocles" Departure London,Capetown and Natal via Albany
Miss R NYBERG 22
Miss N NYBERG 24
Mr J NYBERG 27
Mrs A NYBERG 52
Nb The ages do not match exactly the original dob for each individual but the names do suggest that this is Alice Nyberg nee Crawcour leaving Australia.
A previous record has a Mr A E Nyberg age 19 leaving June 1900 on the Moravian for Cape Town. This record may suggest that he is Isaac Alfred aka Alfred Isaac Nyberg and if so would help to make sense of an earlier 1902 Australian newspaper article previously posted where reference was made to a Mr Alfred Nyberg already settled in South Africa.
The South Africa NASA records also indicate that both Isaac Alfred Nyberg and his sister Esther aka Nellie adopted MYBERG as a surname. However, there are inconsistencies in the use of the surname. For example, NELL ESTHER POTTAGE born MYBERG born in Australia Spouse Charles George POTTAGE Deceased estate No 31241 (1940)
Reference 2553/1965
When he died Isaac Alfred aka Alfred Isaac although adopting MYBERG on his wedding was named as NYBERG in this record:
ISAAC ALFRED NYBERG Born Australia Spouse Helen Bremner CAMPBELL Deceased estate 3034/1958
Similarly, Rebecca Alice aka Rebe is:
REBE ALICE JACKSON born NYBERG surviving spouse Robert Alexander JACKSON 9550/66
There were other Nyberg and Myberg who had settled in Durban Natal and surrounding areas and the question remains why did Isaac Alfred and Esther aka Nellie change their surnames whereas their siblings and mother did not.Phillip-Jewish,British Ancestry

The previous posts have identified the Nyberg line who settled in Durban Natal from 1902.In addition, their close relatives who descended from David Crawcour died Jersey 1882 and William Henry Crawcour c1805-1845 had also settled in Durban.
I have posted on earlier threads -CrawCour-CRAWCOUR SA lines started 14.11.2009 #1,4 and William Henry Crawcour c1805-1845 started 26.7.2016 data on the lines.
William Henry Crawcour 1870-1938 who descended from the earlier William Henry Crawcour line died in Durban in 1938 and is buried in Stellawood Cemetery where Alice Nyberg and her son Isadore are also buried.
Similarly, David Henry Crawcour born Jersey died aged 47 years 10 months in 1923 the husband of Adeline Campbell Ross. David died in Addington Hospital Durban and was a photographer/designer. Isadore Nyberg was also a photographer in Durban.
