Nevilla Hi - I almost feel I know you now, as John Weiss has promised that he will bring us together when you next come into his strata of the universe! I told him that I was intrigued by your search for all Ottleys as my ex-husband's, (David Green) mother's (Olive Green ) maiden name was Otterley, or Ottley. She was born in Madras India as her father was some kind of High Commissioner there. Do you know anything about this family - have you heard? I do not remember anymore except that his mother had a sister called Patricia. I don;t for instance remember his grandmother's name, I'm sorry. It's too long ago. But I will look up in my family research and see if I put something in there, however, I have looked briefly and all I have put in the family trees I have looked in so far is his name only.

Hello Sara, Yes, indeed, there were Ottleys, many of them, that served in the military in India. One of the famous ones was Major General Coghill Glendower Ottley 1806-ca. 1891, who was a musician, a "missionary", an engineer (he invented a certain type of horse shoe and a buggy that worked in that area), and an agriculturalist. He was the son of Richard (born 1772) Ottley, the brother of the famous art historian, William Young Ottley (1771-82), and of Brook Taylor Ottley (born 1773), another military person to whom George III wrote a letter of commendation. His nephew, Sir Richard Ottley (born 1782 in St. Vincent, died 1845 France) was knighted by George IV in 1822, and served as Chief Justice in Grenada, and later as one of the Judges in Ceylon. These are just two of the Ottleys who served in India. Glendower was in Madras I believe. I have a copy of his obituary, which I can later scan and send to you. Some time ago, I did stumble upon something on the internet about Ottleys in India, or someone sent it to me. I shall research it again, and send it when I find it. I probably have it recorded in my archives, but cannot put my finger on it at the moment--must search.
