Could be tht Robert Evans took her back to the UK. Would that happen though. Wnen Roberts last chid was born in 1862 his occupation was Mariner, Merchant Service. That was two years befre the 1864 cyclone.

Otherwise I can't see her still hanging aound India until October and I doubt she had time to make another round trip to England in the four months remaining to her. Regards, Adi
