Hello
Lionel Luyt is my mom's uncle. So he is the brother of my granny Winnie Luyt. I know it was him who worked on the genealogy of the Luyt family as I used to visit him when ever I was in London. I last saw him on his 90th Birthday in the Feb before he passed away (in June) in South Africa on his last trip from London, 2011. He was not a concert pianist as it says in the above paragraph written by Rory, but a recognized Ballet Dancer and theatre costume designer. You can google Lionel Luyt obituary for a summary of the highlights of his career, including working on stage with Julie Andrews in the Famous cast of My Fair Lady at Drury Lane, and making friends with Betty Davis and sharing jokes with Goldie Hawn.
