1. An Introduction [1]
Hello My name is Glenn BOYES and I used to subscribe to the old India Roots group but am also a member of the BAIS. I've been researching the name of SWASBROOK in India for about 6 years. As source material I have used microfilmed records of the India Office Library in London obtained via the LDS Church. In the last few years I've also made a couple of trips to London to conduct research. My maternal 3x gt grandfather Lewis SWASBROOK ( born in Manchester abt 1798) joined the 1st Regiment of the 1st Foot in
2. 55th Foot in HongKong [1]
Hello All, In have an ancestor who was with the 55th Foot and according to his army papers from 1842-44 he "served with a detachment in HongKong under Lt Gen Sir H GOUGH until the conclusion of peace at Nankin". It also happens that during this period he married again but I have found no record in the India Office and his papers do not show details. I'm thinking the event could have occurred in HongKong. Were are any records likely to be kept?. I'd be interested to learn what his detachment may have bee
3. HOLDERSHAW [0.966461]
Hello again, everyone, Returning to the subject of my orphaned great-grandmother, Winifred Carvalho: She had many siblings (which, unfortunately, in her lifetime, she never knew about.) For some reason (presumably the climate of the times) some of these chose to go by their mother's English surnamename HOLDERSHAW rather than their father's Portuguese/Indian surname CARVALHO. HOLDERSHAW is a very rare name and it is extremely likely that if there are currently any people of that name in India then they a

7. St Mary's Church, Fort St George [0.966461]
In response to Fred's question on St Mary's church at Fort St George, I have two small pamphlets on St Mary's which I could photocopy and send to anyone if they send me their snail-mail address. One is called 'A Walk Around St Mary's' and describes the church's physical appearance. It has lots of line drawings. The other is called 'St Mary's - The Story of a Church' and gives its history from 1680 to 1980. There is also a photo of St Mary's on my website, in one of the Church pages. Regards, Cathy
8. 21st Reg. in India [0.966461]
Hello Group Following on from Canon Cohu, here is another Channel Islander with (rather earlier) Indian connections. This may also assist someone looking for the movements of the 21st Regiment of Foot between 1832-1848. Philippe Jean returned to regular service at the age of fifty-seven. He joined the 21st (Royal North British Fencibles) from 1832, retaining his rank of Captain. The Regiment were stationed at Chatham, having just returned from Ireland. They were about to take on a new role, accompanying
9. NEWTON suname [0.966461]
In follow up on your NEWTON, I don't think so. I have yet to obtain sufficient records on mine to determine his origins. I am currently waiting for a possible copy of the courtmartial itself. All I have at the mo is that he ( James NEWTON ) is Irish , aged 24yrs in January 1846 when he arrived in Tasmania and had served 5 years in the 9th Reg of Foot up until his courtmartial in India on 2nd December 1844 at Kasauli (not Kussowlie as I thought thanks to the advice of David Kennedy from Perth ) Thanks
10. Daniel Penhearow [0.966461]
Hi folks Re: Penhearow/Haig/Anderson. My ancestor Daniel Penhearow arrived in Calcutta around 1820 from somewhere in Cornwall. He married Elizabeth Haig, whose father was Col. Haig an Army surgeon, in Calcutta on 17 Sept. 1825 at St. John's Cathedral. Can anyone help: 1. Any Penhearow connections: India/Cornwall? 2. Haig Connection? 3. Information about St. John's Calcutta. 4. Any information on the life of an Army Surgeon? They then moved to Digal Farm, Dinapore. There he was a "Commission Agent." 1
11. RE: Genealogical Research Directory [0.966461]
Hi Sharon the GRD is a great way to find what names are being researched by others. It is published yearly (I think). Under surnames, you will find a list of details pertaining to what years and what locales someone is researching for a particular name. There would be a cross-referenced number listed that corresponds to a researcher's name and address. You could then write to that person. You can also place an ad in the GRD so someone else can find you. Of course only those who put their names in are liste

Hello Winston, My uncle Wilton Marks also went to La Martinere. I think he would have started in about 1928. He later went to school in Mussoorie and then to Lucknow University. I am sure I have seen a web page for the school and it has some past student listed and a brief history of the school and it's origins.

As new subscriber to this news group I have a lot of questions to ask so here goes. I am trying to trace the Wemyss family history in India and would be grateful to hear from anyone with information relating to the Wemyss name. My family had strong connections with the East Indian Railways. As they were Anglo-Indians will the Uncovenanted Civil Service List (L/F/10) hold information on them ? Secondly are there other good sources of information on the EIR and their employees ? I am also trying to trace
