Hi there,
Sorry that I am only seeing this so many years after you posted it. There are quite a few Willmores in South Africa who mostly belong to the branch of John Willmore (b 1687)through Benjamin Willmore (1774  at Flitton w Silsoe, Bedfordshire) and Sarah Howson (b 1778). One of Benjamin's sons, Gregory, came to South Africa in about 1827, after having fought in the Battle of the Nile under Lord Nelson.
