Hi there,
Just came across your post. I have been desperately searching for an ancestor of mine called Catherine Milne who was born in India (1857-62).. unfortunately that's about all the information I have. I have seen the name Eugenia Catherine Milne with only 3 years difference and am wondering if that is her. It would be good to find a way to know for sure, though I'm guessing that would be tricky.

This might help with employment:

There is a possibility that, assuming he served in India, there will be papers at the East India Office collection at the British Library. Also on the BL website is a database of BMD and occasionally brief biographies of British residents of India.

Hi,
Yes, she's in the 1891 & 1901 Scottish Census (Dundee). In the 1891 census she is under the name Kate Milne, 'Where born: British Subject, India. Two children, Alice & Annie (Annie is my ancestor).

Your Kate/Catherine Milne was a widow so you would need to find her maiden name. Have you got the children's birth details?
