Hello from South Africa!
I can sympathise - I've looked everywhere I can think of for similar info
but have struck the proverbial blank wall. All I can add, for what it's
worth, is that C.J. was the son of the vicar of Bishop's Stanford. It seems
there were about 8 chldren, of varying degrees of health and stamina, some
of whom attended Eton and one of whom, Our Cecil, came to the Cape Colony
for his health.
I'll keep hunting and pass on any more bits and pieces I can trace.
Kind regards
Elrine
