Francis Edwin Cottrell

[Charlie24]

Francis Edwin Cottrell was born in Aden 11/8/1888, and baptised in St Mary's Church, Aden on 30/8/1888. Parents were Mary Martha & Charles Wilson Cottrell, returning from India after serving with the East Yorks regiment. Both Francis and his mother Mary Martha died soon after his birth (Francis - exact date not known, but it was 1888 & in Aden, Mary Martha died 4/9/1888) Mary Martha was buried on 5th Sept 1888 in Holkat Bay Cemetery, Aden, but I don't know where her son Francis was buried.
Records for Holkat Bay Cemetery, Aden, for British nationals buried there between 1880 and 1889, are kept by the British Library, India Office Records, Ecclesiastical Returns, Registers of Baptisms, Marriages and Burials in Aden.
I am hoping someone might be able to find the burial record for Francis?
