Stanley was my grandmothers partner for many years (approx 1948 until her death in 1984 in Zimbabwe). My grandmother lived in Cape Town where i presumed she met Stanley but could also have been in Durban. In about 1950 my grandmother and Stanley left Cape Town and went to Zimbabwe but this is where the catch is. Stanley was apparantly a deserter and could not travel on his own name. My father who was in an orphanage for most of his childhood left the orphange somewhere between 1948 and 1949 and joined his mother in Cape Town. Stanley was already with my Grandmother. my grandmother was born in 1908 and looks like Stanley in 1921. My father was born in 1931. My father had started working in Cape Town and did not go with Stanley and my grandmother. Stanley then took my fathers birth certificate and travelled under his name and lived as Colin Tipler until my grandmothers death in 1984. After she died he changed his name back to Stanley Page. I only found this out last week when i came across a Zimbabwe govt gazette. I never met my grandmother or Stanley
