Note from family member July 2011 - It may have been transcribed correctly but my grandfather's surname is spelt "Colvile". It may also be worth noting that "Nellie" was the name by which my grandmother was known but her correct names are Helen Marion. And, for the record, my grandfather's first names are Mansel Brabazon Fiennes. - Nigel Sclater
