Hiya

Sir Stewart Gore Brown & his estate Shiwa Ngandu were the subject of a book
not so long ago by Christina Lamb. It was called The Africa House (the true
story of an English Gentleman & his African dream) . The book is available
through some second hand booksellers & it might provide some background &
perhaps even a mention of the relative.

I have been away for some weeks but hope this is of some help.
