Hi Peter, Had a very quick look in the Times Newspaper.. Not sure if if is your chap or his son, given that he was born in 1822, so I would assume maybe his son (or not even related?) Charles Edward Pyster was awarded a ISO (Imperial Service Order) in 1913 He was a Superintendent in the Foreign Department Government of India. Regards David Ourimbah, NSW, Australia.

Can someone please advise me or help me in being able to shed some light on this part of our family. My mother is close to 80yrs old and I would love to be able to tell her of some news on her GG Grandfather. > >Many many thanks > >Karen Bell >New Zealand > >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SRILANKA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > >
