Hello Keith I suggest you obtain the deceased estate papers Lauriston Kneller which is in the Pretoria Archives. This document will provide you with details of when and where he was born, his marital status, date and place of birth as well as parentage. There is also a Florence Kneller here and looks like it could be a relative. A very interesting case however is the return of a diamond ring to Isaak Kneller?
