I believe this is a photo of my Grandfather L.A.Wright, standing on the left with bow tie and cigarette. My Grandmother is the seated European woman to the right, in profile. I do not know the identities of either the European woman at the centre or the two gentlemen behind her. My guess is that the children are my aunts, Morna , standing next to LAW - Clodah seated centre - Eleanor, seated on ground left - the two boys, seated are possibly my uncles Peter and Christopher - I don't know which is which. My Grandmothers last 3 children (Barbara, John, and Jessica) are either too small to be included or not born yet, which dates the photo to the early '20s.
A lovely article of a legendary individual . Glad to hear he trained my uncle Hilary Marcelline who was later PD at Sarnia . I remember going to this awesome estate and enjoying the hospitality.
How do I update records of the planters who worked here, also this is an estate I have so many memories hence can I update pics related to Kandahene (Bugalows etc)
