| I've always been fascinated by the interconnectedness of many of the personalities of the AZW so here's a question for you to solve.
Which Zulu War General's sister was Lieut. Edgar Anstey's aunt? |

| Just wondering as his wife’s maiden surname was Anstice…
That leaves Frederick Marshall - Adelaide Laura Howard.
Edward Newdigate - Anne Garnier.
Henry Hope Crealock’s first wife was Julia Hatfield died in 1853. I cannot find a second marriage.
Or are we in the realms of Surgeon-General or Commissary-General?

| Well, it looks like no-one is going to get it.
The answer is Edgar Anstey's uncle Thomas Chisholm Anstey was married to Harriet Mary Petra Strickland, the sister of Commissary-General Edward Strickland. |
