Notes Douglas came out to South Africa to fight in the Boer War where he met Catherina Susanna Nothnagel. He returned to South Africa and they were married in the Wesleyan Methodist Church at Parys by Rev Charles J. Hepburn on 14 Jan 1908. Douglas then returned to England with his new wife where he worked as an engineer with Waygood Otis Lifts. Their 2 eldest children viz Fred and Lily (Bess) were born in the UK. He was transferred by the company to South America where their youngest, Ernest Gordon (Tommy) was born in Buenos Aires.
Douglas arrived in the Cape with his wife Cathy and 3 children in 1922. They arrived on a Union Castle Mail Ship the "Garth Castle".
Douglas claimed the title of world champion high diver when diving from the Cliffs of Dover. Bob had a newspaper cutting describing the act which he has now passed on to me.
