Birth Notes:
http://garybrunette.tripod.com/brunettefamily/id1.htmll George Macnamara Brunette's father was George Brunette, a Lieutenant in His Majesty's 2nd Ceylon Regiment who on 27/12/1805 married Anne Macnamara (born around 1787, died at age 55 on 11/12/1842 in Columbo, Ceylon). She was the daughter of Colonel Matthew Macnamara (born around 1761, died 31/1/1824 in Monaghyr (sic) at age 62). Lt. George Brunette must have died shortly after the birth of GMB because his mother then married James William Truter (born Jacobus Wilhelmus Truter in Cape Town on 18/8/1782), a captain in the 2nd Ceylon Regiment. The wedding was on 3/9/1808 at Jaffna, Ceylon. JW Truter was promoted to major in the same regiment on 12/8/1819. He died 7/4/1821 in Ceylon and is buried at the Dutch Church, Galle, Ceylon. JW Truter and Anne Manamara had five children, two of whom moved to the Cape: Anna Amelia Truter who married Edward Fredrick Wylde son of John Wylde, Chief Justice of Cape Colony, and James Lionel Truter who, after an unsuccessful stint in the diamond mines, ended up as a magistrate in Calvinia. It appears that George Macnamara Brunette must have come out to the Cape by himself, followed later by his half-brother and sister.
