Arthur Horsley Brunel Stevens is my second great uncle. Unfortunately I don't know anything much about him. He was one of 8 or son children of one George Stevens who made his way to South Africa from Rochester, Kent. He was born circa 1859. Two people with such ridiculous names deserved each other! He was born in Cape Town and at some stage was in the then Salisbury Southern Rhodesia. A family tale exists of him being a "Rhodes man", and having been involved in negotiations with Lobengula, the Matabele chief in Bulawayo. But this is apocryphal.
