Hello I am searching for information or descendents of George & Florrie Morgan. They lived for a time in Durban and had 3 children; Dr. George Morgan; Margaret McKelvey (nee Morgan); and Lloyd Colvin Todd Morgan. At the time of George Senior's death in 1960, George, Florrie & Lloyd had moved to live at the Chimanimani Hotel, Melsetter in Southern Rhodesia. These are relatives and I would very much like to establish contact or find out what became of these people. Any help or direction welcomed.Bill
