Ali, 1895 Thacker's Indian Directory page 1493 lists T. C. Flashman & Co. as wine and general merchants, Canning Road, Rawalpindi, and T. C. Flashman as managing proprietor of same. Also lists R. Johnstone as Assistant in the firm of T. C. Flashman & Co. A Thomas Charles Flashman, of the Hotel Norman, 10/11 Leinster Gardens, Lancaster Gate, Middlesex, died 12 February 1929 at 12 Leinster Gardens. Probate of his will was granted on 31 May 1929 to Blanche Maud Flashman widow, Herbert Charles Flashman hotel proprietor, and Norah Margaret Browne, widow. Effects totalled 3652 pounds 13 shillings and 4 pence. This Thomas Charles Flashman and Blanche Maud Flashman are in the London Electoral Registers for 1927 and 1928 at 55 High Road, Chiswick, London. In 1929 there are three Flashmans shown for 10/11 Leinster Gardens - Blanche Maud, Herbert Charles, and Florence Evelyn. Florence Evelyn G. Boulter married Herbert Charles W Flashman in 1925. His age at death suggests a birth c. 1858. There are a couple of outwards passenger lists from the UK to India for this couple. Also a number for Mrs Flashman but there was also a Blanche Marion Flashman so you might have a bit of sorting out to do. Please contact me off list if you would like copies. The London Gazette of 7th March 1919, page 3159, shows the admission of Thomas Charles Flashman to the Indian Army Reserve of Officers with the temporary rank of Captain, effective 23rd August 1918. He was awarded the Kaiser-i-Hind Medal, Class II, on 22 June 1914. Noel
