India - Military, Marriage & Birth > Marriage and births
« on: Saturday 24 March 18 22:08 GMT (UK) »
I just got a new DNA 3rd cousin whose Ancestor was Thomas BUCKLEY born Oldham, Lancashire 3 July 1878 (sometimes claiming 1883).
He is on the 1881 & 1891 census, after that presumably he joined up.
At the moment all I know is that he married in India (probably 1917 to Dorothy Rhoda Mulholland at Agra, Bengal) and had a son (Thomas) Herbert Buckley born 1918, who married Mary (same age - probably Mary Pereira 1941 at Bombay), children Blossom Ann born 1941 and another son possibly living (from shipping records on Ancestry).
Are there resources apart from FindMyPast and TheGenealogist that may help me find out more please?
Thanks,
Sharon

This confirms the marriage was in 1917: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FGJ9-8X9

What other information are you looking to find out?

Thanks I was wondering if there was anything else online that I didn't know about, other than the indexes. (Thanks for reminding me of FamilySearch, I hadn't checked there, I normally do!)
It would appear not :)

FIBIS (https://www.fibis.org/) and the India Office Family History Search (https://indiafamily.bl.uk/UI/Home.aspx) can be good sources for information the 19th century but tend to have less available into the 20th century.
