Tara - a huge thanks for this record, it helps to fill in some missing details for me The son referred to here is Clive Francis THORNHILL, g.g. grandson of 1820 Settler Christopher THORNHILL (Clive died on 16 Mar 1943 in a P.O.W. camp in Italy during WW2. His father was Major Herbert Clarence THORNHILL (1880-1951), he was 2nd in command of the Natal Carbineers in WW1 and farmed at "Vaalkrantz" near ladysmith. Herbert's wife and mother of Clive was Jesse Marian CARTER (1886-1951). The CARTER and THORNHILL families have lots of cross-links.
