Hi All

The following is a tall ask but still hope springs eternal and I am hoping for some assistance in locating the birth details for the children of Rev Thomas Valpy French & Mary Ann/e Janson. 

Thomas and Mary Ann were married 10 Dec 1825 at St Paul's Cathedral, Fort William, Bengal. Thomas was the son of Rev Peter French and Mary Ann the daughter of Alfred Janson.

Thomas traveled to and from India in his religious capacity.  His exact movements are as yet unknown so it is difficult to say if all of the children were born in India. 

 The couple's children were:
  • Ellen Penelope born c 1854
    Cyril John born c 1856
    Lydia Marian Dillwyn born c 1857
    Alfred Henry Lawrence born c 1858
    Agnes Sarah born c 1861
    Basil P W born c 1862
    Edith Constance born c 1864
    Wilfred Thomas born c 1866
