Date | Original Topic | 2nd September 2003 | Durnford's Children By Sally Col Anthony Durnford had three children - two boys and a girl.
Have always believed that the two eldest children died before the Anglo Zulu War, and that he'd blamed the death of his eldest son on his wife.
Can anyone help ?
Had one or two sons died before AZW ?
Can you assist with names of children in particular, or names of those who had died ? | Date | Replies | 2nd September 2003 | Martin Everett Dear Sally
Only notes I have:
1. Infant son buried in Malta 1856
2. Daughter Francis born 1857
3. 2nd daughter - Julia Brabazon died 1860
That's the best I can do.
