I hope you can help. I am trying to trace the Anglo-Indian part of my family, of which I am very proud. They were living in and around Madras at the start of the 20th century. The details I have are as follows: Martin EDWARDS married ??, children: 1.Grace Lillian Edwards (my grandmother) born July 15 1906 in Madras. I have photos of her. 2.James Edwards (was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Army Medical Corps in WW2. He was a surgeon.) I have his photo. 3.Not sure if there were others. Family story is that Grace was former head girl of Madras University or a girls' college - not sure if that was the case. She definitely had a brother, James who was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Army Medical Corps in WW2. He was a surgeon. I believe that the Edwards were an Anglo-Indian family. Grace Lillian EDWARDS (born July 15 1906 in Madras) married Joseph Collins in Trinity Chapel, Park Town, Madras on February 28 1927. Joseph was serving with 2nd Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers, stationed in Calicut. Children: 1.James Joseph Edwards Collins (born in Fort St George Madras on April 29, 1927. He died in Bolton, Lancashire on April 30, 2003.) He was my father. 2.Phyllis Elaine Collins (born in Wellington, India on April 27, 1929.) 3.Other children were born subsequently in the UK. Anything you can add would be much appreciated. Thanks. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
