Notes for Patrick Philip Achilles Townshend
Patrick farmed coffee in Kenya.
The brothers Herbert Eyre Dalrymple Townsend [5B30] and Percy Dalrymple Townsend [5B31] went to Kenya some time in the late 1920's and settled at Kitale. Records in the CRB Africa Group in Nairobi show that the brothers farmed in Njoro with Percy specifically at the "Thurlestone Estate". The records also show a "GM Townsend" farming at Nakuru and at Kitale - presumably George Marsden Townshend [5D30], who previously worked for the Indian Forestry Service but lost a leg when he was attacked by a tiger, and a "PPA Townsend" at Hawks West Farm; this would have been Patrick Philip.
A cutting from 'The Times' reads, "Townshend. On 28 January 1939 at Kitale, Kenya, Josephine Desiree, dearly loved wife of Patrick Philip Achilles Townshend and daughter of Mr and Mrs Rutherford, Behar, India, aged 20."
