Chris Ring......I have a Sophia Catherine Cunningham who married Thomas George Clarke on 3rd October 1838 in Vepery Madras. Marion UK

Does anyone, by chance, have the name McCARR in their tree? I am looking in particular for Charlotte McCarr who married John RING in St Thomas Mount, Madras on October 14 1840. She was a widow and I have no idea of her maiden name. He was in the Madras Artillery at the time. Here's hoping … Chris Ring ( researching RING, CUNNINGHAM, GEDDES, LYONS, McCARR, FLEMING, DUCKETT, STEWART, HOULDER, KIRBY )
