Hello List Ken said: I have been trying to find information on Victoria Maud McCaw, daughter of David McCaw of the RFA in Jhansi. I believe she married in Bengal Presidency sometime around 1910 and died some years later in childbirth. Her nickname was Queenie. I can find some of her siblings records but nothing on her. One possible source for the birth of Victoria Maud McCaw is the Army Overseas Index, refer the FIBIS Fibiwiki page Chaplains Returns for details http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Chaplains_Returns I did check these Overseas Army indexes for her marriage for two range of dates including 1910,1911, but there wasn't anything, although there were some McCaw names Cheers Maureen (Sydney)

In the early 1900's there was a home in our family called "Iyencovil". Our family has long ties with India as planters in the Nilgiri Hills and so I have often thought that the name may have Indian links. It seems I may have been correct, because the only time I have come across it has been in volume 1 of the 1878 edition of a book called "A history of Travancore from the earliest times" by P. Shungoonny Menon. In a chapter entitled 'Reign of Dasa Vanji Pala Marthanda' it reads: "On the 1st Mithunam (13th June), the Maha Rajah left for Kilialloor. Thence the Maha Rajah proceeded to Ambalapulay. On the 10th Mithunam (22nd June), the Maha Rajah visited Iyencovil. On the 18th and 19th Mithunam etc, etc" Is there anyone out there who knows what or where "Iyencovil" is or was? The fact that the Maha Rajah visited it, suggests that it might have been a shrine or temple of some sort. Many thanks in advance for any help. Peter
