Hi Peter,
I presume you have made a mistake with the date of birth for your grandfather, James Norval Lloyd born 9th Jun 1866 ... presumably 9th Jun 1899
As you have already mentioned, John (Snr) and John (Jnr) came to SA in the 1817. However no one has been able to provide documentary proof that John (Snr) is the same person as John, husband of Janet Foyar. Do you perhaps have any documentary have any proof of this?
By the same token, John (husband of Janet) is shown as the son of John Norval and Charlotte Watson. This parent child relationship was put forward by Janet Harris (nee Lemon) , but we have no documentary proof of this either. In other words we have no documentary proof of exactly who were the parents of the 3 brothers (John, Archibald and William) that came to South Africa.
Do you have any documentation one way or another?
Regards
Mike
