William Seager Madras
« on: Wednesday 15 July 09 14:36 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any information regarding William E Seager.
I know he was born in Madras and baptised in 1867.
He married Emma Fenn, the daughter of John Fenn and Georgiana Brown.
I believe William and Emma had six children.

I look forward to hearing from you. ;)

I am interested in a George Seager, son of William who married Anne Elizabeth Watkins in India. I can find no children for them so it is possible it was a first marriage. From memory the marriage was in Moulmein/Rangoon around 1880.
