That's really helpful, Coils59.  Thank you so much.   Sad to learn that the hotel has been demolished, but hope Eiffel's steel house still survives. best wishes, F

I too am unable to help with Bristol Gillams or Countesthorpe information. However, if Coils59 is still there, have discovered the name of the Lourenco Marques hotel - the Club hotel.  F.

Yes - I'm still here.  Was Catherine a sister of William (1746-1828)?   Regards F.

We were transitting SA from UK en route for LM.  Friends helped us seek out the early C20th hotels, but we havent yet identified Frank and Ethel's establishment.  Still working on it.  Rgds F.

 Many thanks, Coils59, for checking with your Mother.  We hope to get to LM this coming week and will try to track down the hotel, name as yet unknown.  Frank G (1843-1919)'s son was also Frank (1876-1924).  His wife Ethel died in 1938.  Rgds F.

I'm also descended from William Gillam (1805-59).  One of his grandsons (the son of Frank Andrew Gillam 1843-1919) is thought to have owned or run an hotel in Lorenco Marques, Mozambique.  Might anyone have heard a similar story, please.  F.
