Charles Knight - Durban
I am trying to find out about a relation, Charles Knight, He went to Durban South Africa late 1800's early 1900's.He was involved in gambling and owned two small hotels.I believe he was a heavy gambler/drinker! I have a photograph of his sister in Durban - she visited him when he was ill to look after him.After his death, she received quite a bit of money from his estate, so I assume he was quite successful.
He was born in Devon, England and I am not sure how he got to SA, perhaps with the Army.He died there I think in the 1920's, but I am not sure.Can anyone point me in the direction of finding death records for South Africa?
Family stories say he was nick-named the Silver King.
I would love to find out about his colourful life in South Africa.
thanks,
Brenda
