Are you perhaps referring to the village of Rhodes in the Eastern Cape, as there is no town Rhodeshia. Do you perhaps know any more details on Harry such as the name of his wife, children he had, and possibly where he passed away?

Thanks for your interest, his wife was Ida M Law but they were divorced at some stage. I have the name B.M.Wheeler who could be his father but dont know where he was born either!

I have been unable to trace a marriage or divorce between Harry and Ida.  What record do you have for his year of birth being 1922?
