We thought Henry Mathias had died in about 1933, but turns out it was January 1934, so not far off. We are almost certain that Eddie is Henry’s child from another woman. My sister found a record on a site showing Eddie’s birthdate as March 1909, but no other info. Henry and Mary’s son born in Elandslaagte in South Africa was born on the 13th of April 1909. Apparently Henry travelled a lot for work, so we don’t know where he had been when he came back with Eddie.
Eddie’s eldest child (my uncle) is no longer alive and I imagine he was born in 1932 or 1933? My Mom was born in 1937.

Did Eddie die in South Africa? In one of your previous posts you say your sister found a record somewhere saying he was born March 1909/ I can't find a death for him on familysearch.org in South Africa and the reason I am asking if he died there or elsewhere is because there is this in the US.
United States Social Security Death Index
Edward Mathias
State - New York
Residence Place - New York
Last Place of Residence:
Buffalo, Erie, New York
Previous Residence Postal Code - 14201
Age - 76
Birth Date -1 Mar 1909
Death Date - September 1985
However there are more Edward/Eddie Mathias records born at various times with quite a few in the US but they have to be discounted.
Edited to add - Does your mother not know her father Eddie's actual birth date?
