2nd September 2003	Durnford's Children By Sally Col Anthony Durnford had three children - two boys and a girl. Have always believed that the two eldest children died before the Anglo Zulu War, and that he'd blamed the death of his eldest son on his wife. Can anyone help ? Had one or two sons died before AZW ? Can you assist with names of children in particular, or names of those who had died ?
