• Notes

  Henry worked on the railways in Port Elizabeth for 39 years. They lived in the centre of Port Elizabeth at number 17 Chapel Lane, the house no longer exists it was demolished along with the whole block. It was replaced with the VSN Shopping Centre with its frontage on Govan Mbeki Avenue (then Main Street). Where was he born? Surely cannot be Cornwall, as his mother was born in Somerset East, Eastern Cape. It would have meant her going to Cornwall to Meet TTB.? Henry worked on the railways in Port Elizabeth for 39 years.
