Welcome to my family site!
Robert Mc Kenzie Colville was the first of the family to arrive in South Africa.
He, his wife Catherine (Kitty) Robertson and his four surviving children William, James Robert, Helen Erskine and Jesse Valentine arrived from Scotland aboard the RMS Florence on 27 March 1877. There twin sons Thomas and Robert died before they left Scotland. They landed at East London, at that time a part of the Cape Colony which later became Border and is now part of the Eastern Cape Province.
