Hi Don, Yes you have uncovered another family tale. Capt Burrows was supposed to have been on the same ship as Brooke when he came to Singapore first in 1838 (after his father's death) and then again in 1843 and they were supposed to have fought the Bugis pirates together. The story goes that Brooke and Burrows were rewarded for their bravery with the gift of choice of the Rajah's daughter's. Although Brooke did get to become the White Rajah instead of or as well. In fact William Burrows was born

17. [SINGAPORE] Woodcutters in Singapore [1]
Hello All, I have just received a certificate for my husbands descendants marriage. It states that the wife's father was a woodcutter named "Nalile". Does anyone know where I would find information on woodcutters or a man by this name? I am not sure if Nalile lived in Singapore but have to start somewhere as this is where the marriage took place. Is it possible that Nalile is a Malay name? I look forward to any assistance that can be offered. Kindest regards Narelle

Thank you once again for your helpful replies, Narelle and Mary. I found several of the web sites that you have mentioned to be very interesting and have put them in my Favourites list. I don't need any further information about what happened when Singapore fell -- what I need is access to civilian BDM records in Singapore for the periods just before and just after WW2. It's clear that Singapore does not have BDM indexes as we have in Australia (and the UK) and that is a great pity, as I do not have p
