Hi Shana

What ages would the sons have been?

Have you searched the National Archives?  http://www.national.archsrch.gov.za/sm300cv/smws/sm300dl

Hi Keith & Eric would have been around 10 & 8 years old
when they left in 1960 & Tom would have been around 34
he also had a new wife i think.
thank you for your help Shana
