My wife's grandfather was John Archibald Fawell who was born in 1880 in Yorkshire. He had a brother named William who was born about 1885. Their father was John William Fawell, married to Elizabeth Vernon. John Archibald and William had three other brothers (Thomas, Leonard and Frank)and two sisters (Victoria and Mary Elizabeth, the eldest child, who emigrated to Canada).
John Archibald Fawell fought on the British side during the Anglo-Boer war of 1899-1901 but returned after the war, married in South Africa and became a policeman. He is buried in the town of Brits in what used to be the Transvaal Province.
Could he have been a brother to William?
I would be grateful to have any more information.
