From Pat Smith:
This appears in Vol 5 of British Settlers to Natal on page 193 and reads:
Arnold, Thomas
In a list of debtors of the baker Robert Forsyth* dated early 1873, and filed with his estate papers, Arnold appears as a wagoner of West Street, Durban.
Source: Insolvent Estates 1/17 no.77
There is a copy of Arnold's will (20 Dec. 1859) preserved among the notarial protocols of Harry Escombe.
Source: Notarial Protocols of all notaries who started practising before the 1890's have been consulted. IV/5/3 no. 329ab
Dr. C.M. Adridge's* ledger records the vaccination in May 1863 of the Arnolds' son George aged seven months, at which time they were resident at the Halfway House on the Durban/Pietermaritzburg road. This is surprising as they already had a son George Thomas then aged eleven years.
