Thanks to David and all who have replied to our e-mail on the above . We still have to prove the age of great uncle who was born in India? but doesn't appear in the records for tracking down in London. Kind regards Linda and Tony

Hello Linda and Tony, I knew that my Portsmouth grandfather DUST had been born in China in 1877and found his father had been in the Army. I finally found his birth registered in GRO Army Chaplain's Returns Indices (1796-1880) on 1837on-line, and so was able to send for his birth certificate, taking me further back. Could your great-uncle have been in India through being a Forces Dependant? There are also Consul's lists on that site. In looking for Grandfather I also found other brothers born abroad that my mother knew nothing about! So she at aged 90 is still learning! I have a page in front of me with some D and E names on it, several in India. Hope I'm not telling you things you already knew!!
