Henry Rymill (1 May 1836 – 21 February 1927) and Frank Rymill (27 November 1837 – 26 May 1915) were brothers prominent in business and public service in the 19th century South Australia. Henry "Harry" Rymill and Francis "Frank" Rymill were born in England, sons of Robert Rymill and Louisa (née Sheppard) Rymill of Shepperton, and migrated to South Australia, arriving at Port Adelaide in the ''Caucasian'' on 1 October 1855. Their company H & F Rymill was a prominent financial institution well into the 20th century. Their families included a number of prominent Adelaide citizens. Robert (1869–1906), Herbert (1870–1951) and Sidney (1873–1938) also traded as "Rymill Brothers〔("Rymill Brothers" (photograph) State Library of South Australia )〕 "Rymill Brothers" could also refer to the speedboat racing team of Arthur Graham Rymill (1868–1934) and Ernest Seymour Rymill (1876–1931) – see their notes below. It could also refer to the partnership of cricketer Jack Westall Rymill (1901– ) and golfer William Seaton Rymill (1909–1987), actually cousins, who ran several sheep and cattle stations.〔 Joolling station〕〔 Wooling station, Western Australia〕 ==Henry Rymill== Henry was working as a lawyer's clerk in London when persuaded by brother-in-law J.
