this Grenfell was the sister of my Grandfather, John Grenfell (b. July 22, 1877)who married someone with the surname Brown and lived in Kimberley. I don't know her name (or his) but they had at least two children, Wilfred and Reginald, and apparently had a somewhat hair-raising time during the seige of Kimberley. I'd like to know more about her and any other brothers or sisters of my grandfather. I think there may have been one referred to by my father as "Uncle Willie Harry" who seems to have split his time between working on civil engineering projects in South America and opening tobacco kiosks in Penzance and swearing off travelling for life - until the next time.
