Individual Note:
     Arthur must have been born in Kent as a result of his father being inthe Army and posted to Kent at the time of his birth. He died young inan accident on the River Dee at Chester according to Rene's account.The picture of "Sonnie" & Oliver dated February 1918 would appear toshow Dorothy aged about 1 yr with an older boy. Rene believes it wasSonnie ( a boy) who died young and therefore it would appear that thiswas probably Dorothy's brother Arthur. Rene has no details regardingOliver.

Occupation:   Mechanical Engineer
     Date:   1938

Individual Note:
     Born 17 December 1904 in Witbank, died 23 December 1985 inJohannesburg.
He was generally known by his second name, Frank.
He married Monica Mary Grimaldi (b. 30 September 1912, d. 23 September1997). The Grimaldi family have a lot of family history includingfamous miniature portrait painter William Grimaldi (1751-1830).

Frank and Monica had two sons, John Beith Holland and Michael BeithHolland.
They were divorced on 10 June 1953, and both remarried, my mother muchlater.

Frank’s second wife was Peggy (Margaret?), who had two sons, PeterExcell and Leonard Arthur Goodchild, from two previous marriages.Frank’s second marriage (Peggy’s third) lasted about 3 years, and ledto another divorce.
Frank stagnated at school, and was sent to a technical college, wherehe thrived. He was crazy about steam locomotives since the age of 4,worked on the Salt River locomotive workshops in Cape Town, thenvarious jobs in Pretoria, and with some friends formed MicroEngineering, a small engineering business. Later became a draughtsmanfor Anglo American corporation. He wrote the two-volume “SteamLocomotives of the South African Railways”, published in 1971, whichis full of locomotive photographs taken by him. He also build livesteam model locomotives, and I have one of them, the “Green Goddess”,based on his own design but following South African locomotivepractice.
