I do not but his surname was Greenhalgh do you think its been mistranscribed here to Greenhill

He could still be alive, Mark.

The death of Greenhill may correspond to a birth in Hendon.

Do you know whether, if that is the right one travelling to Uganda, that they definitely returned to the UK?

He would be 97 this year if still alive I believe

Yes, that's what I mean - it's perfectly possible.

Thank you AustinQ very interesting

His death is listed here:

GEOFFREY WILLIAM GREENHALGH DOB: 1919-10-02
SPOUSE: ANNA JOHANNA HELENA.

Sorry Mark, you have to pay to view- but it does confirm his death in SA

note to self from AustinQ

It certainly looks like he divorced Nancy Holden- papers relating to it are held at the SA national archives- they appear to be dated 1964 which is a little confusing as his 2nd marriage was 1962- but I don't know what the papers contain:

http://www.national.archsrch.gov.za/sm300cv/smws/sm30ddf0?20160310184551FDFFA96A&DN=00000001

When Geoffrey went to SA with Nancy in 1959 his birth date is given as 2nd November 1919 - this matches the birth date given on his 2nd marriage in 1962 so it's definitely the same Geoffrey:

His gravestone is mentioned here. Think there may be a photo but I can't get the link to open.
