Hi David, Thanks for the info. W.E.Rowlands is Reverend Rowlands, known as Padre Rowlands of Ceylon who spent most of his life in charge of the Tamil Coolie Mission that looked after the well being of the tamil coolies brought over from India to work the plantations. Unfortunately, at this stage I cannot find a connection to our family. The marriage details have shortened his wife's name, which was Mary Blackwell EVANS, the daughter of Rev.C.Evans.

Thank you Fazli. and Victor I have had a good read of "Twentieth Century Impressions of Ceylon" via Google, and I'll have to have another look for more information. ....and Thank you Victor, nice to chat to you again thank you for the link www.historyofceylontea.com this is where I found the 1871 version, but now I see how to navigate to the Archives.. Duh!!! Thanks again Gay

Hello Gay, The Ferguson's Directories are online from its inception to 1930 on The History of Ceylon Tea Website (HOCT) - < www.historyofceylontea.com >. It is a time consuming effort in checking them, but a very rewarding one though.
