I wondered about an interloper Henry too, but according to a summary on your other thread Eli was not in India when Selina would have been conceived, but serving on the "Home" front (8/11/1888 - 7/10/1890).

However, it's not clear how he could have fathered Rachel b 1885 if he was in India 30/12/1880 - 7/11/1888 as the same summary also states.  Is there a record of any home leave in the military records?

Perhaps "Henry" was Henry COIT, the lawful husband of Mary Ann?

re Henry Coit,
That's what I was thinking.

Supplementary (before I put it to a wider Rootschat audience)
When I was initially researching my Gillens of Kingston some 15 years ago, a lot of useful family data was put onto the Internet by Kingston University.  I copied all the Gillen references in their link:  http://localhistory.kingston.ac.uk/database/LocalHistoryForm.asp 
and related much of my research to it.
