South Africa / Re: Campbell in Natal (Capetown?) and McIlwaine in Rhodesia

Hello Peter and Linda,
According to my Great Grandfather's (Sir Percy McElwaine - Chief Justice Malacca Straits) war diary, his 2x G Grandfather was Sir Robert's G Grandfather, a John McIlwaine. I am really interested in trying to confirm the linkage so any information would be greatly appreciated. I have found the law journal and the 1939 UK register which has Sir Robert's birth date as 1 Nov 1871, which does not match with the Robert McIlwaine born to Henry and Matilda McFall (who's birth date was 15 Oct 1871). Are you able to confirm who his mother was and whether this is an administration error as I am unable to find any records of Sir Robert's birth certificate.
