Thanks ShaunJ and maddys52 for your postings and information, which is very helpful.
Following is a link to my posting on the Kent, England Board which provides background to my request for information.  This is most of what I know about the family:

https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=888104.0

Arthur Dudley Shorey's grandparents were Frederick William Shorey and Mary Ann Elizabeth Lancaster.  Frederick was an Engineer.  He died in 1938 St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex and Mary died in 1927 in Hastings, Sussex.  They had 4 children; Elizabeth b 1873 W.Ham (haven't found anything further on her), Frederick William b 1876 W.Ham, Alexander Dudley b 1877 W.Ham [in 1939 Register he is a Fruit Grower in Cyprus] and Elsie Gordon b 1887 W.Ham - she died in 1889 age 2.

Thanks again for your assistance.

This website used to allow you to search for a gravestone by name. It was recently upgraded, however if you do not know which cemetery the person is buried in it will be difficult to find. We know Arthur died in Kawzulu Natal circa 1956. You can try searching the Natal cemeteries here https://graves.eggsa.org/
