I am trying to trace any records of the Schumyn (aka Shemain) and Woodall families in Kenya, particularly Louise Schumyn/ Shemain and George Harold and Percival Woodall, all in the early part of the 20th century. George is known to have been a telegraphist, originally from Yorkshire and went to Kenya from South Africa in the early part of the 20th century. He was living in Kenya (exact location unknown) in the mid 20th century. Louise is known to have married and become "Smith" and to have died in Kampala in about 1963, aged about 70. I have traced a Lance Corporal Christian Schumyn in the Commonwealth War Graves at Nairobi South Cemetery but have no knowledge of any connection (though the name is sufficiently uncommon to suspect one). He died in 1915 at age 38 and may be a brother/ cousin for example. Louise was born in SA and spoke of arriving in Kenya "in a bullock cart".
