Hi everyone, I've received an email from someone who is interested in finding out their India connections, and wondered if anyone is related or researching the family of William and Cecelia DICKINS? My email contact is related through one of their daughters, Sophia. I believe William remarried and had other children. My contact writes to me:- snip>>"Sophia is fairly convincingly the daughter of William and Cecelia. Family hearsay says William Dickins was a doctor and they also had something to do with sugar mills in India. Do you happen to know if the Dickins family was Indian/Anglo Indian as in the one photo I have of Sophia she certainly could be Anglo Indian." There are other children:- 1 F Mary Ann Cecelia Dickins Born: 1840 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 M William Farburgh Dickins Born: 1843 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 M Albert Ernest Alfred Clark Dickins Born: 1844 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 F Thelma Augusta Victoria Dickins Born: 1846 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 M Charles John Dickins Born: 1853 6 F Juliana Angelina Dickins Born: 1857---------------- 7 F Alice Gertrude Dickins Born: Cir 1860 If anyone is researching this family, or can give me a clue as to where to look for proof of William's Medical Profession,or anything to do with sugarmills, I would be must appreciative. The era would be around the 1840-1870. Many thanks, Jill
