Hello I'm posting my interests in case anyone else is researching my family names REYNOLDS, HOLDEN and WILLSTROP in India or Burma. One of my great grandmothers was, according to IGI, Christened Rebecca Adelaide Catherine Reynolds on 16 April 1871 in Jabalpur, West Bengal. Her parents were George Albert REYNOLDS and Louisa Mary Ann ?? Rebecca was known as Adelaide in the family. Adelaide had a younger brother, Albert Horatio REYNOLDS, born on 24 February 1873 and Christened on 18 April 1873 in West Bengal, India. There is a family story that says there was an elder brother George REYNOLDS but I cannot find any record of George's existence. George Albert REYNOLDS married a second time (I have not found Louisa's death but family stories confirm she died when Adelaide was young). The second marriage was to Charlotte NESBITT on 16 December 1878 in Hastings, West Bengal. Charlotte's father's name is William NESBITT; George Albert REYNOLDS father is Albert REYNOLDS. Adelaide Rebecca REYNOLDS married Henry HOLDEN according to the copy of the marriage certificate, on October 6 1886 in the Pro-Cathedral, Lahore. Henry was 21 years of age and his father's name was John. So Henry was born about 1865. I have only found one Henry HOLDEN - birth in 1865 with a father, John. If this is correct he was born in Manchester, Lancashire and his father was an auctioneer. Family stories have always put the HOLDEN family origins as Blackburn and not Manchester - although auctioneers/estate agents do feature in the stories! I have a photo of Adelaide with her husband, Henry, brother, Albert Horatio, and three of her children taken in 1894 when my grandmother, Mabel (Mabs) Lilian HOLDEN, was 1 year old. Mabs was born in Bombay, Maharashtra, India. Mabs married Harvey WILLSTROP who was born in Leeds, Yorkshire. She remained in Poona (Pune) after my grandfather's death in 1946 until the 1960s when she returned to England. My great grandfather Henry HOLDEN died in Burma in 1920. He and Adelaide were on their way to retirement in Australia with their three younger children, John, Gwendoline and Rose. It is generally believed that the stop in Burma was to visit Adelaide's brother, Albert Horatio REYNOLDS. According to family stories Albert married a Burmese lady and there were lots of children. After Henry's death I have always understood from family stories that Adelaide continued on her journey in 1920 and lived in Melbourne, Australia until her death. A cousin of mine has been researching too and he believes that she remained with the three children in Burma for a further three years with her brother and his family. I am particularly keen to find out anything about Albert Horatio REYNOLDS, his wife or children in Burma or India. I have hit a brick wall in trying to find an older brother George REYNOLDS so anything on him would be good. I would like to be in touch with anyone researching any of the above names in India.
