The Munros of SaltBurn and Their Descendants

The Story of George Munro and Margaret Ross of Saltburn, their children and their families. We follow them through their lives from Scotland to England, Wales and Africa.

Laura died in 1950 of complications from ovarian cancer and Dick ten
years later. The couple are buried in a family plot at St. John’s Church

Cemetery in Pinetown.

James Davie (and Lilian Wayne)

Third child and eldest son, James, or Jimmy as
he was known, was born in 1878. Jimmy

featured in the Natal Who’s Who of 1906. He
was educated at Weenen County College in

Mooi River. He was a Lieutenant in the Natal

Mounted Rifles (NMR) and commanded the
Pinetown Troop of the regiment in the Jimmy in NMR Uniform
Bambatha Rebellion of 1906. Jimmy was made

a corporal in 1904, gained his commission as a

second lieutenant in 1906, and ended his
service in the regiment in 1914, as a Captain.

He worked at wholesale general merchant,
Butcher and Sons, in Durban, and was an

athlete, winning the Duke of York and
Jimmy with his Athletic Coronation medals for sprinting. Jimmy
Medals
married Lilian Kate Wayne in the
Congregational Church in Musgrave Road, Durban in 1910. Lilian was

the daughter of Anthony and Caroline Wayne of Durban.
Jimmy and Lilian had three children: Winifred Pearl (Pearl), Bruce

Meredith, and George Angus (Angus).



Page 37


Pearl married Henry Edward Williams in
1942 and had two children, a son and

daughter. Henry was the son of Percival
Langford Williams and Maria Louise

Rachmann. Henry was brother to Mary
Blossom Williams who married Winifred’s Angus, Pearl and Bruce

uncle, William Kenneth Martin Munro, her father, Jimmy’s, youngest

brother. Henry died in 1967 and Winifred in 1970.
Bruce married Margaret Swan Crossling in 1941 in Belgravia in

Johannesburg. They had three children, two daughters and a son.
Bruce and Margaret both died in Wynberg, Cape, Bruce in 1966 and

Margaret 10 years later. They are buried in the Maitland cemetery in
Cape Town.

Angus married Beryl Rosamund Swales, the daughter of George
Christopher Swales and Louisa Kean, in 1940 at St John’s Church in

Belgravia, Johannesburg. Beryl was the second cousin of Edwin Essery
Swales who was awarded the VC posthumously in the Second World
th
war. When she was only five, Beryl’s father died and before her 18
birthday she had lost her mother as well. Her younger brother Hector

was killed in action in the Middle East in 1941. George Angus died in
1981 and Beryl in 1983.

Jimmy had been farming in Albert County near Port Shepstone prior to
his death from pancreatic cancer, in the Seaview Nursing Home in Port

Shepstone in the January of 1941. Lilian was to die about three weeks




Page 38


later of heart failure. They are both buried in the General Cemetery in
Port Shepstone.


Alexanderina Ellen (Cissy) (and Alfred Dacomb)
George and Selina’s third daughter Cissy

was born in 1880. She married Alfred
Edmund Dacomb in 1902 at the family

home, Preston House in Pinetown, on what
was then the main road to Pietermaritzburg

from Durban.

As was also the case for her two older
sisters the celebrant was Theodore
Alfred Dacomb
Glöckner, the Lutheran Pastor from nearby
New Germany.

Alfred and Cissy had four children; Enid, George, Dorothy and Alfred
(Taff).

Their eldest child, Enid was born in 1903 and married Staley Nettleship
Gower Jackson in 1927, the son of Gower Alexander Jackson and Lilian

Thorne Jeffkins of Rhodesia. Gower had sadly been killed in action in
the German South West African Campaign of the First World War,

when Staley was only 14 years old. As far as can be determined Staley
and Enid only had one son, Barry Gower Jackson who died in 2019 aged

89. Staley died in 1966 and Enid in 1985.
Alfred and Cissy’s second child, George, was wounded in the knees

during World War 2 and walked with a cane for the rest of his life. He



Page 39


never drove a car but used to pay regular visits to his cousins, travelling
by bus from Durban, where he lived, to Pinetown and further afield, no

mean feat considering the rudimentary nature of the bus service in
those days and his limited mobility. He and his sister Dorothy never

married, although it is believed George had had a love interest before
his war injury. George died in 1984 and is buried in the family plot at St

Thomas Church in Musgrave Road, Durban.
Dorothy was the oldest of the surviving cousins who attended the

reunion of the Munro family held in Hillcrest in the 1980’s. Dorothy
lived on until 1997, and is also buried in the family plot. Family lore has

it that the plot is so full that Dorothy’s coffin had to be tilted to fit. Her
body could be heard sliding in the coffin as it was lowered.

Youngest son, Taff, first married Ruth Aylen Raymond Langerman in
1934 but they divorced. After the war Taff remarried, his bride was

Bertha Jonsson. Taff was an electrician by trade. He died in 1955, aged
just 46, at Hillcrest and is buried in Stellawood Cemetery, Durban.

Cissy died in 1914, at the age of 34, of uterine
cancer and Alfred in 1949. They are both buried

in the Dacomb family plot at St. Thomas Church
in Durban.


Alfred Charles (Alf) (and Gladys Knowles)

The second of five sons Alf was born on
th
5 February 1883 in Pinetown and grew up at
Preston House. His formative years were spent in Alf



Page 40


Pinetown. A young Alf played for the Pinetown soccer team with
brother, Jimmy, as is shown in a photograph of the 17-year-old taken in

1900. Alf and Jimmy were to be caught up in the tumultuous events
which were to embroil the colony. The Zulu chief Bambatha led an

uprising provoked by the introduction of an unpopular poll tax on the
native males. Alf and Jimmy were volunteers in the local militia, the
th
Natal Mounted Rifles, which was mobilised on 25 February 1906 to
quell the uprising. With unrest temporarily subdued, the unit was

th
demobilised on 18 March. However unrest broke out again and the
unit was remobilised in May. After a number of brutal engagements

with the rebels, as they had by then become known, the uprising was
finally put down and the brothers were discharged when their

regiment was demobilised in July 1906. The Government was
authorised to award a medal to those who had served and Jimmy and

Alf both received the Natal Medal (1906) with bar.
Before the uprising Alf had met the love of his life, Gladys Vera

Knowles, a teacher at the Pinetown School,
which in 1904, his younger brother, Willie,

attended. A lengthy courtship followed, much
to the frustration of Gladys, who expressed as

much in a number of her letters to Alf. The
couple eventually married in 1914 and shortly

afterwards moved to Queenstown, where Alf Gladys Vera

was employed by Morum Brothers.

Queenstown
It was there that the first two of their seven children were born:

Gordon Knowles in October 1914 and Douglas Ross in March 1917. The

family then moved to Eshowe in Zululand, where Alf worked as a
labour agent and was involved in a transport venture. It was also here
that a nineteen month old Douglas was to

th
succumb to another scourge of the early 20
century, the infamous “Spanish Flu” The
couple’s next four children were born at

Eshowe: John Hamish in 1920, Gwyneth
Muriel in 1924, Daphne Vera in 1925 and the

youngest daughter Barbara Joan in 1927.
Alf and Gladys then moved, with their

children, back to Pinetown and settled in a
Alf and Gladys at Cowies
cottage on a 50 acre property, which had
Hill
been detached from Preston, on the slopes of




Page 42


Cowies Hill. Their youngest child, Keith David, was born there in 1929
but tragically died at 4 months of

complications of whooping cough and is
buried in St John’s Church Cemetery, in

Pinetown.
Eldest son, Gordon, lived with his Aunt Sissy

and Uncle Chappie Knowles, on the Durban
Berea, so as to attend Mansfield Road School

Gordon and Durban High School. He left school after
standard 8 to help support the family. He played rugby for the

Pinetown Rugby Club and raced converted Austin 7 cars at Currie’s
Fountain Raceway with his friend Lionel Johnstone.

Before joining the NMR to serve “up north” in the Second World War,
Gordon was engaged to Florence (Flo)

Schwegmann, whose sister Phyllis was to
marry his cousin Gibby Clendinning. The

engagement did not survive the war and she
married Freiderich van der Riet in 1944.

Gordon sailed to North Africa with his
th
regiment, The Natal Mounted Rifles, on 14
October 1940 aboard the H.M. Transport No.
25, Llangibby Castle. Gordon served in the
Gordon in NMR Uniform
East African Campaign against the Italian
th
forces and with the 8 Army in North Africa. He went on to become the




Page 43


unit cook and had the kitchen truck available to him at the retreat
known as the “Gazala Gallop” where it was “every man for himself”.

Gordon told how, with the truck, he was able to pick up stranded
comrades on the way. The NMR returned to Durban aboard the Nieuw
th
Amsterdam, after an absence of 2 years and 3 months, on 13 January
1943. The regiment was converted to armour prior to being

despatched to Italy. Gordon remained in Durban where he was tasked
with running the mess at the Springfield Camp, where he was based. It

was here, when breaking up a fight, that he was struck in the eye by
one of the assailants wearing a

knuckleduster. The injury caused him to
permanently lose sight in that eye. He was

later to lose the sight in his good eye, after
a failed cataract operation, leaving him

completely blind in the last few years of his
life.

After the war Gordon met his sisters’
(Daphne and Gwyneth) school friend,

Gladys Ella (Sella) Low and they were
th
Sella 1946 married on 26 April 1947 at the Frere
Road Presbyterian Church in Durban.
Gordon and Sella had three children, two sons and a daughter. In 1955

they settled on an acre of land subdivided off his father’s farm on

Cowies Hill, the reward for sending his army pay to his father for the




Page 44


duration of the war. There they brought up
their family until the property became too

much to manage after Gordon suffered a
stroke. Some seven years after the stroke

which left him severely incapacitated, Gordon
died at Sandown Village in 1998. Sella lived on

at Sandown Village suffering a stroke, and
later passing away there in 2019.
Sella on Ferry in New
Alf and Gladys’ son, John, worked at a local Zealand 1999
dairy factory of Durban Combined Dairies (later to be branded

Creamline Dairies), where he rose from milk taster to manage the
operation. He oversaw the introduction of flavoured yoghurt and fresh

orange juice to the dairy’s product range. John also had a passion for
poultry and horses. He bred poultry and showed his prize specimens all

over Natal and especially at the Royal Natal Agricultural Show in
Pietermaritzburg. He would eventually become a judge of poultry in

Natal and travelled to judge the “birds”, as he called them, often to
other provinces as well. John bought and trained thoroughbreds and

raced them at the gymkhana track set up by Percy Easterbrook in New
Germany and other tracks as far afield as Kwambonambi, Zululand. He

built well equipped stables at his father’s Cowies Hill farm, where he
continued to live with his family. The stables were the last buildings

left standing after the farm was sold, only being demolished to make







Page 45


way for the development of the playing fields of the new Pinetown
Boys’ High School.

John married Carina Alice
Leroni, the daughter of Horace

and Magdalena Leroni in 1948.
They had two children, a son

and daughter. His wife, Carina,
was a nurse and had cared for
John and Carina
mother-in-law, Gladys Vera, in the last months of her life. She also
cared for her father-in-law, Alf, and his younger brother, Willie, in their

final days.
John retired to his farm in Killarney Valley, Cato Ridge, where he died in

2003. Carina passed away two years later.
Eldest daughter, Gwyneth (Gwynnie), went

to school in Hillary, Durban. She was an
accomplished sportswoman and she and

sister, Barbara, played hockey for Berea
Rovers Club. Gwynnie married William

Roland (Roley) Thomson in 1948 at St Johns
Church, Pinetown. They had three

daughters.

Roley worked for the Railways and he and Gwynnie and Roley
Gwynnie were active members of the local Presbyterian Church, of

which Roley became a lay preacher. They lived in the Kenneth Gardens




Page 46


complex in Umbilo, before moving to their new home in Hillary.
Gwynnie died of lung cancer in 1986. Roley passed way in 1996.

Middle daughter, Daphne, also went to school
in Hillary, both she and Gwynnie were

classmates of Gladys Ella Low, who later
married their eldest brother Gordon. Daphne

married George Christopher (Kit) Henderson,
who had served with Gordon “up north” in

the NMR during the Second World War. Kit
was the son of Christopher Banks Henderson

and Edith May Lewis. Kit’s father was the part
Daphne
owner of the dairy where Daphne’s brother,

John, worked. May, as Kit’s mother was known, was a children’s
author. Kit worked for a ships chandler in Durban. Early in their

marriage they shared a house,
situated on the grounds of the dairy,

with Gordon and Sella, before moving
to their home on Cowies Hill. The

dairy house was the same house to
which John and Carina moved when

his father’s farm, on Cowies Hill, was
sold. Kit and Daphne had three

children, a daughter and two sons. Kit







Page 47


Daphne died in 1979 of breast cancer and, after suffering for many
years with severe arthritis, Kit of lung cancer some five years later.

In 1953, youngest daughter, Barbara, married
tobacco farmer Theodore Herzel (Tom) Gillman

and after honeymooning at Victoria Falls hotel,
they moved to his farm at Mtoko in what was

then Southern Rhodesia. There they had four
children before moving to Australia. While they

were in Mtoko, Barbara’s father, Alf, visited
Barbara them, sailing via Beira, to spend a holiday with

them, and was taken to the Kariba Dam, on the mighty Zambezi River,
which was then still under construction.

After living in Perth in Australia for several
years, the family moved back to South Africa

and lived in Pietermaritzburg. They
eventually returned to Australia to the same

home in Perth, having retained it throughout
their sojourn back in South Africa.

Tom passed away in Perth in 2014. Barbara is
Tom
still living, recently having moved into an aged

care facility, after being cared for in their home by her eldest daughter.
Gladys died in 1950 at the Cowies Hill farm of a cerabral haemorrhage

and Alf in 1968 at the home of his son John near the Creamline Dairy.







Page 48


Agnes Georgina (Nan) (and John Crawford)
Nan, born in 1885, married John Crawford,

the Pinetown Postmaster, at the Munro
family home, Preston house, in 1913. They

lived at Burnside Cottage, in Caversham
Road, close neighbours of Nan’s younger

brother, George Ross. They had one son,
Ian George, born in 1918, who was

baptised with his cousins, Bruce Meredith
and George Angus, in a family baptism at Nan and John

St. John’s Church in 1922.
Ian married Rhoda Ethel Bowman in a ceremony at St Paul’s Church in

Durban, performed by Vernon Inman, who later went on to become
the Bishop of Natal. Ian was to suffer a fatal injury in an accident, when

he fell off a verandah and struck his head, at their home in Lauth Road,

Pinetown. Sadly the eldest of their 3 sons, Gregan Ian, was to die a
little over a year later at only 5 years old, in 1960, from the dreaded
disease, polio. Both Ian and Gregan are buried in the St. Johns Church

Cemetery in Pinetown. Rhoda later went on to marry Ian’s cousin,

Richard Munro Clendinning, in 1961. Rhoda and Dick were both
murdered on their farm in 1994.

Nan died in 1954 of breast cancer at her home in Caversham Road,
some seven years after husband, John, had succumbed to a heart

attack and died at St Mary’s Hospital in Marianhill.

Isabella Sanderson (Bella) (and
Benjamin Barrett)

Bella was the youngest of George and
Selina’s daughters, born in 1887. Bella

went to School at Maris Stella in
Durban, where she learnt art. Bella was

an accomplished artist and the family
still have a number of her paintings. She was also the only daughter not

to be married at Preston House, but at St Paul’s church in Durban,
where she married Benjamin (Ben) Hugh Barrett in 1911. The reason

was later revealed to a granddaughter by Bella’s niece, Dorothy
Dacomb. It seems Bella “had disgraced the family and was pregnant.”

Ben always said that there was no-one else for him. Bella and Ben
moved to live with Ben’s parents in Greytown where Wilfred Hugh was

born, before returning to Pinetown.
During World War 2, Wilfred served in The Natal

Mounted Rifles (NMR) in North Africa. He had
also trained with the NMR for four years before

the war, in Louis Trichardt. In 1946, Wilfred
married Jeannie Adam, the only daughter of

William Adam and Helen Muirhead. Wilfred and

Wilfred in NMR Uniform Jeannie had two children, a son and a daughter.









Page 50


He died in 1994 at Morton Hall, a rest home in Pinetown named after a
popular local GP, Richard Morton, having been widowed on Jeannie’s

death in 1989.
Bella and Ben’s younger son, Duncan Henry, was born in 1918 in

Pietermaritzburg. Duncan lived in Sarnia and worked for the Standard
Bank.

Shortly before the outbreak of the Second
World War, he went to England to fulfil his

dream to become a pilot in the RAF. He was
helped by his brother Wilfred, who paid for the

ticket for his passage. He became a Sergeant
th
Pilot in the 49 Squadron, Royal Air Force
Volunteer Reserve. While there, he met and
Duncan in RAF Uniform became engaged to an “English girl”, Marian

Marshall, with whom the family continued to correspond for many
th
years. Tragically, on 29 August 1941, on his 11 mission, his plane was
shot down during a raid over Holland and plummeted into the shallow
water near Amerland, killing the entire crew. The islanders rowed out

to the wreck and brought the bodies back for burial. The bodies were
re-interred after the war to new graves, by the War Graves

Commission. It took 7 years after his loss for his parents to be informed
of his death and Bella took it really badly, struggling to accept the

reality of it, often proclaiming; “When Duncan comes back….”. His

brother, Wilfred, also badly affected, for many years blamed himself




Page 51


for having bought his ticket. Duncan Barrett Road, off Sanderson Road,
at the base of Cowies Hill, is named in memory of Duncan.

Bella suffered a further great tragedy in her life, when she and Ben
were attacked on their small holding “Skydene”, at Alverston. Ben was

confronted and attacked by two men on their verandah. He hit his
head on the corner tile of the parapet wall. The assailants then

attacked Bella, who was in the bath. They were both taken all the way
to Addington Hospital, some 44km away in Durban, after Bella had run

to an Italian neighbour in the valley, for help. Ben died on 25 October
1954 at Addington Hospital, from a brain haemorrhage resulting from

the injury sustained during the attack. After that the family say Bella
lost her joy for living and was never the same. Bella died in June 1970

and the couple are buried at Stellawood Cemetery in Durban.


George Ross (and Ethel Forrest)
George was born in 1889. With his younger

brother, Malcolm, he oversaw operations on
the Forest Hill farm for his mother, Selina,

when the estate became too much for her to
manage. He and younger brother, William,

saw active service in the German South West
African Campaign in World War 1, with the

Natal Mounted Rifles. He married Ethel
George Ross
Constance Forrest in 1919, about four years






Page 52


before his father’s death. On his mother’s death, in 1938, the Forest
Hill farm was divided between George and his brother Malcolm.

George and Ethel had five children, Selina Emily born in 1919, twins
Arthur George and Ernest Andrew in 1922, Laurel Dorothy in 1923 and

Maureen Lucy in 1927. Sadly, Selina Emily died, as an infant of 17
months, in 1922, from gastric enteritis. Further tragedy struck the

family when their 19 year old son, Ernest, was to die of intra-cerebral
haemorrhage caused by injuries sustained when he fell into the oil

tanks of a ship he was working on in Durban Harbour in 1941.
Son, Arthur George, married Molly Crawford in Malvern, a suburb of

Durban, in 1947. Between 1948 and 1955 Arthur and Molly had three
children, all boys.

Arthur died in 1982 and is buried in St John’s Cemetery in Pinetown.
Molly followed in 2014.

George and Ethel’s daughter, Laurel, was born in 1923. She married
Leonard Bartholomew in 1947 at St John’s Church in Pinetown. They

had three children, two sons and a daughter.
The youngest, Maureen, born in 1927, married John McElvie Burt in

1955. They had two children, a boy and a girl, and lived in Underwood
Road in Pinetown. John died in 1979 and Maureen in 2012 in the

United Kingdom.
George was to die in St Augustine’s Sanatorium in Durban following an

operation for stomach cancer in 1957. Ethel died in 1981 and both her

and George are buried in St John’s Church Cemetery.




Page 53


Malcolm Bruce (and Christina Beggs)
Malcolm was born in 1892. Unlike his

brothers, Jimmy, Alf, George and William,
who all served in the NMR at some time,

Malcolm was with the Royal Durban Light
Infantry (RDLI) for the War of 1914-1918.

Malcolm Bruce
Malcolm was a bandsman in the RDLI and played the cornet. He

married Christina Sandylands Duncan Beggs in 1940, while farming on
the farm he had inherited from his mother in Hillcrest.

Malcolm and Christina had one daughter. Malcolm died in Hillcrest in
1950 and Christina in 1964. Both are buried in the St John’s Cemetery

in Pinetown.


William Kenneth Martin (Bill) (and Mary Williams)
George and Selina’s youngest son, Bill, was

born in 1894. Bill saw active service in the
campaign against the Germans in what

was then German South West Africa
during the First World War. On his

mother’s death in 1938 Bill used his
inheritance to purchase portion of the

Bill Munro
Preston Farm, including the family homestead, Preston House. In 1942
he married Mary Emma Blossom Williams and they had one son,




Page 54


William Lester Langford (Willie) in 1943. Bill and Blossom were
divorced in 1954. Bill then had a long romantic relationship with Rose

Geils, though they never married. Rose ran a fashion shop, called
Thelma’s, in Crompton Street in the centre of Pinetown.

Bill sold the Preston Farm in the early 1960’s and the homestead was
demolished and the land subdivided for the development of a housing

estate bearing the name Preston. He then lived in a block of flats off
Old Main Road, beside the Pinetown High School. In his final years, Bill

was taken in by his nephew, John and his wife, Carina in their home
behind Creamline Dairy, where Carina cared for Bill until his death in

1974.
Willie was educated at Westville High School

and Weston Agricultural College. He first
worked as a panel beater, running his own

business in New Germany. Later he became a
successful car salesman and was well known in

Pinetown. Willie was a keen boatie and
fisherman and was active in the Surf Skiboat


Club in Durban. Willie first married Marie Willie
Leonie Carolina (Leonie) Naude in Pinetown. They had one son before

divorcing in 1969. Willie then married Patricia Ella (Pat) Schultz in 1969.
They had two sons before divorcing in 1977. They got together again

and had a further son, before divorcing for a final time. He then
married his third wife, Ilva Shirley French, in 1998.




Page 55


Willie and Ilva were tragically
murdered in a brutal assault and

armed robbery at their Saddle Road
home in Sarnia in 2000. The tragedy

was to have further ramifications that

Willie and Ilva split the family when a son was
charged as being an accomplice to the assailants who had been

convicted of the murder. Shortly after Willie’s son’s acquittal, second
wife, Pat, died in 2003.
George passed away in March 1923 and in his obituary is reported to

have had an “Adventurous Life” as a “Gold Seeker, Transport Rider and

Farmer”. He was buried at St John’s Church in Pinetown, after a well
th
attended funeral, on Saturday 10 March. Selina survived George by
some 15 years, passing away at Preston in 1938 and is also buried in
the St John’s Church Cemetery.

To Conclude
To date, Donald remains the only child of George Munro, Carpenter of

Saltburn, and his wife Margaret Ross, who has left no trace.

Could he have been the family in Newcastle that John was apparently
visiting, when the accident which killed Alice, occurred, in 1877? Family

have wondered whether he left the Colony of Natal for Australia or
New Zealand, but this is mere speculation. Anything is possible,

including that he returned to Scotland, or that he wandered off into the
hinterland of Africa.
