After many years, the mystery has been resolved. I have traced both great uncles - one was a clerk, and the other did work at Rand Nurseries in Emmerentia, Johannesburg.
Albert Edward Sutton - died unmarried in South Africa 1955
and George Thomas Sutton returned to the UK in the 1930s, dying in 1941.
Also emigrating with them were 3 "sisters" who were actually their nieces by their eldest unmarried sister Pheoebe Harriet SUTTON.
Ada Clara Talbot Sutton (1882 - 1930) died South Africa, unmarried
Florence Maud SUTTON(1889 - 1934) who married Douglas Alexander POWRIE, died South Africa
Lillian May SUTTON ( 1895-1970 ) married Harry BRIGHT, died South Africa.
So query now completed - just need to follow up their families.
Thanks to all who helped.
