    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: maureenr5 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.asia.india.general/2805.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The FamilySearch website has transcription details of two children who died in 1892, children of Patrick and Mary Vallis. The place name is transcribed as Moorgheliatta and Moorgheethutta, but the spelling was then Moorgheehatta and currently Murghihata. This is a location in Calcutta, where there is the Roman Catholic Cathedral of The Most Holy Rosary. You may wish to obtain a copy of the death certificates to confirm this is where the burial services took place. The chances the couple were married in the same church. As you have advised you have tried FamilySearch , FIBIS and the British Library India Office Records. you could try contacting the church in Calcutta, perhaps the Archbishop's Office to see if it is possible to obtain a copy of a probable marriage record. http://www.archdioceseofcalcutta.in/contact.html If you are unsuccessful by email, perhaps you could try telephoning. Some people have found a personal visit is necessary to obtain a copy of a record. Cheers Maureen (another Maureen) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
