Doris Blanche Wilson born 1905 Ceylon
« on: Saturday 11 December 04 17:17 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
My grandmother, Doris Blanche Wilson, was born on June 28th 1905 in Ceylon. I think she said Colombo, but I'm not sure. Can anyone tell me how to get a copy of the birthcertificate? Father Albert Thomas Wilson emigrated to Ceylon between 1895 and 1898. Would also love to find out when exactly. He married Frances Winifred Corteling (burgher) oct. 8th 1898 in Kandy. They had 4 children: dennis (1899), Frances Ethel (1901), Doris (1905) and Phylis Doreen (1907). They all went back to England about 1909. Looking for any information as well about the other children. I think Albert worked for the railways.
thank you.
