Hi List, I have posted several times over the years on the current dead-end to my ELLISON family line. However I'm not sure I have ever sort advice on looking further via military records...so here goes. My 4x G Grandfather James ELLISON b. 1779 d.1821, is noted as a H.C. Marine on both his marriage (Calcutta) and burial records (Ft William). I have also found information in one of the early directories which mentions James as a Master/Pilot in the HC Marine. I have however not been able to find a birth record for James in India but would love to trace this side of my family back to the UK. Can those of you with knowledge on military history advise what (if any) records might contain information about James Ellison? Either LDS Film to look through or specific MIL records in the IOR. Or if military passenger lists exist at NA in Kew?? Any advice on where else to look, that I haven't explored already would be extremely welcome. Thanks Bev Researching Family Names in India: ELLISON, ROBBINS, HINE, BLYTH, BERESFORD, MADDEN, NAVIN & REA.
