There are references to a B S Greville on NAAIRS www.national.archives.gov.za/ under database NAB (Pietermaritzburg Archives) from as early as 1877.

Many thanks for this lead.  Although it hasn't taken me directly to what I am looking for, it has given me a fresh start.  Capt. B.S.Greville's family were living in Pietermaritzberg at the same time that the 2nd Batallion Royal Fusiliers were encamped there around 1908-9.  My (distant) cousin, Lt. Belgrave Ninnis, was a friend of the family and kept in touch until he went to the Antarctic in 1911 where he lost his life.  I have wondered what became of Greville's younger daughter, and if there are any family recollections of this period.

Hello
Looking for family members of EB Clough of Pietermaritzburg, in particular any relative of Brooke Southwell Greville Kings Messenger and any of his children.
The family homes were Revells Hall, Bengeo, Montpelior Mews and Beaufort Gardens both in Knightsbridge
