I love reading about my family.....I love this blog! I love reading about my family...I loved visiting Cothele House in Cornwall built with The Durnford money! (They treated us like royalty there, when they read my brother, David Durnford's name in the Visitors Book)!<br /><br />Col. Anthony Durnford, pictured above is my fifth cousin. There is a plaque in Rochester Cathedral commemorating his and his regiment's demise at The Battle of Isandhlwana in January 1879, in the Zulu War. When they knew I was born Caryll Durnford, they treated me like a celebrity. Ha Ha. Great work, thank you!
