Looking for any information on Thomas Abraham BURMAN who arrived in Natal on the 'Justina' in 1850 and his brother Richard William who arrived on the 'Evangeline' in 1859.

Thomas was married to Caroline Sarah PROVINCE and had the following children: Caroline Isabella, Thomas (MBE) - (Mayor of Durban 1918-1920), Alice, Jessie Alice, Arthur, Helen.

Richard married Lavinia Wilcox and had the following children: Florence Lavinia, Percy Richard, Louisa, Amy Rosina and Alfred.

I have just discovered the BURMAN family so would be very excited if I found any descendantsof the above. My 3 x great grandmother Sarah Charlotte is sister to Thomas and Richard.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks & regards
