Ethel McClintock Bunbury’s elder sister Nena (Beatrice) Ievers obtained an MD from Edinburgh University and married a Ceylonese civil servant Norman Izat. His father, Alexander Izat, CIE, MICE, was Chief Engineer of the Daund-Manmad (opened 1878) and Bhavnagar- Gondal (1880) lines and had risen to be Director of the Bengal & North-Western Railway Company. Nena and Norman had three children - Mary , Katherine Izat and Allan – who would thus have been first cousins of my grandfather. Mary Izat married Frank Pilditch and had a son David.
Katherine Izat married Michael King and had a son, Duncan, and daughter, Deborah.
Allan Izat married Fran Killeraun and had a son Anthony. I am presuming that Anthony’s son is the John Izat (
