Crawford-6676 and Crawford-17170. However, if you look at the details, both represent the husband of my aund, Sara (Sarita) Amelia Helen Crawford (nee Minchin), (Minchin-69). I met Walter several times, my mother was bridesmaid at their wedding in Kitale in 1936 (of which I have photographs), attended their golden wedding anniversary in South Africa in 1986 (of which I also have photgraphs), and corresponded with him quite often when Sarita was ill with myasthenia gravis (although she outlived him). I am in contact with my cousins, Wlater and Sarita's sons, Clive, Robert and John (Clive is a retired water engineer living in Howick, Robert is a marine biologist in Cape Town, and John is semi-retired sports master at Michaelhouse School, near Howick).

The one point in Crawford-6676 which is correct but not included in Crawford-17170 is the date of the wedding - 16 December 1936, which, as I say, was in Kitale, Kenya.

Originally you had down that Sarita was married to a John Crawford, which I corrected because it was inaccurate. John Crawford is their youngest son.

Walter's father was a clergyman, and at the time of Walter's birth (1907) was based in Portrush, Co Antrim, some 60 miles from where I now live.
