I've come to a dead end looking for the parents of an ancestor, Ellen Sheehan. She was born in Bengal in 1860, her father was apparently in the army there. She married Philip Ricketts, also in the army, in Bengal 1877 (found on FIBIS website). They settled in Worcester in later life. Family stories say she may have been brought up or educated in a convent in India? Does anyone have any ideas how I can trace her parents? Could I get hold of a marriage certificate for someone married in India, and would it have information on her parents? Thank you!
