    3. Maureen and others, Ellen b. 1840, and William Calderwood's b. 1828 Brown mother's name was Beeba Jan (a local, I believe). He did not marry Beeba Jan. It seems he wanted to provide for her and these children in his Will written in India and he left a third of his estate to each after leaving some monies to a church in Stewarton, Scotland. It does not mention his wife who he married in Scotland in 1813 and their child. Whether he had anything in Scotland they might have inherited, I do not know. I found Ellen Brown, 11, b. in India in the 1851 England census living at 13 Frederick Place, Clifton, Gloucestershire, England. She is listed as a scholar and she was living with quite a few other people. I do have both siblings birth info and Ellen's brother, William Calderwood Brown, was an Assistant Civil Engineer at the time of his death. He married an Ellen Tapsell in 1848 and they had 3 children. I need to find her death record. Elaine
