They moved to the African island of Zanzibar where Bomi could continue working in his role as High Court cashier for the British government. It was here in Stone Town, Zanzibar that Freddie was born and given the name Farrokh Bulsara in 1946. Six years later Freddie's sister Kashmira was born here also.
