There he met Miss Elizabeth Saunders daughter of a yeoman farmer, Francis Saunders. Henry's father, with his ideas of aristocratic ancestry disapproved of his son's connection with Miss Saunders. The you couple proved impervious to argument and in order to separate them James Harris Veale bought a block of land at Kouderiviere near Caledon, Cape Province, South Africa and Henry was ordered by his father to go out and farm this land. Having no other means of subsistence Henry obeyed. The intrepid Miss Saunders followed him and they were not married until shortly before their sixth child was to be born. Henry had been christened Mallet Veale and this name was incorporated as a family name from this time. There was no deed of formal licence for this, it was a pretty general practice at this time. This branch of the Veale family called itself Mallet Veale from this time on.
