I received this wonderful email from Rob Bagnall in 2009 along with a lovely photo of Rob, Norah and Marion.

Hi Richard,

I am Norahs son and she showed me your letter when I saw her over the weekend.

I am very interested in the history of our family and would love to find out more about my father(Ronald) and his life in the UK before moving out to South Africa.I really know very little about this or about other family in the UK.

He moved out with his daughters from the previous marriage Lilian and Mary. Lilian passed away a number of years ago but Mary is still living in Durban.

Myself and Marion are the family of Ronald and Norah, I live in Howick, a small village outside Pietermaritzburg and still work as a Government veterinarian, Marion lives in Durban close to Norah.

I am married to Pat and our two children are Roger and Carol, Roger doing his Masters in Plant Pathology whilst working for Pretoria University and Carol is a veterinary Nurse in Cape Town.

I am enclosing two pictures of Norah, myself and Marion that was taken at our house on Christmas day 2003.

Please contact me if you have any other information or require further details of this side of the family.

Cheers

Rob

PS Pat and I were in the UK in April last year, pity we had not made contact before that!
