Hello List Jill said: 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 Of the other children I noticed on the LDS beta site (there may be others): Name William Farburgh Dickens Gender Male Baptism/Christening Date 08 Aug 1843 Baptism/Christening Place Bangalore, Madras, India Birth Date 04 Jun 1843 Father's Name William Dickens Mother's Name Cecilia Indexing Project (Batch) Number C00067-7 System Origin India-EASy Source Film Number 521843 Reference Number v 21 p 339 The LDS microfilm should have the father's occupation. Looking in "Online Directories" on the FIBIs Fibiwki website, I could not find a William Dickens as a surgeon. However there was a William Dickins in the Madras Apothecary listing which could possibly be the same person.
