I am trying to discover more about William's 2nd marriage.  His wife's name was Adeline Sophia Woods Scawen.  All I can gather is she was a widow and related by marriage to the father of the famous Woods Scawen WW2 pilots.  She may have been Anglo-Indian. William was a Theosophist with connections in London, Madras and Boston (USA).

All I can gather is she was a widow

According to the marriage register she was a spinster. Aged 42, father Edward Woods Scawen.

Adeline Sophia Woods born 24 December 1855, baptised at Madras 19 January 1856, daughter of Edward & Adelaide Woods of Royapooram. Edward was a manager in the Commiss. Gen. office.

Thank you!  That will help me find out where they went from Madras, as I wasn't able to find a record of death in India.
