I am looking for descendants of Robert Samuel STEEL and his brother Charles William STEEL who immigrated with their mother Emily Bertha STEEL (nee PADDON) to South Africa between 1888 and 1891.

Emily Bertha PADDON and William Francis STEEL had 5 boys all born in Westminster, Middlesex, England:

Stanley (b 1859) possibly d. 1873
Charles William STEEL (b. 1860)
Robert Samuel STEEL (b. 1862)
Thomas George (b. 1863) possibly d. 1874
Benjamin Frederick STEEL (b. 1865)

In 1888 William Francis STEEL died in London and Emily later died in Port Elizabeth, South Africa in 1903.

Benjamin Frederick was my GG Grandfather and died in Brisbane, Australia in 1941. Both Robert and Charles were jewellers and/or watchmakers as was their father William. Benjamin left home at 16 to become a merchant seaman.

Robert married Charlotte Ann LAIDLEY in 1894 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. There is a family story that Charles William STEEL went to America but I have no proof of this as yet.
