India look up please for Irish family

[Krazykat87]

Hi there
I am trying to find the birth of my great great grandma Margaret knott- father Edward knott

Recently come to light she probably wasn’t born in Ireland and I came across two hits on ancestry but I can’t look at them as I don’t have worldwide subscription. She was born roughly around 1878 as her marriage lists her as 25 but census shows she was same age as husband- 23.

The record I came across is in;
Select births and baptism india. Has her with a middle name of Elizabeth.

Thank you

Sorry I did mean ellen.... I was thinking of my mum for some reason.

Would there be any other documents available for Edward being over there?

Haven’t even come across a death record or marriage for him so wondered if those things happened when away from ireland

What was Edward's birth year and place please?

As yet cannot see any reference to Edward in India other than the baptism posted.

Not found his birth yet I’m afraid. He was meant to be a soldier so I hoped I could find his records to get a date or rough idea. I now don’t even know if he was born in Ireland!
Or even where he died

I’m really struggling with all my Irish links :-(

Yes that’s my post from earlier trying to locate Margaret’s birth in Ireland

Looking at the 1873 baptism register entry for Margaret Ellen Knott, her father Edward was a private in the 51st Regiment.
