Title: Caroline Barley, UK to India?
Post by: Chucky_60 on Friday 16 April 21 11:03 BST (UK)

Hi folks

I would very much appreciate any help I can get regarding my 2 x great grandmother, Caroline Barley.

If my research is correct Caroline was born in Whitton, Linclonshire on the 19th February 1865. I have the 1871 & 1881 census records showing her details but then there is a 10 year gap before she marries my 2 x great grandfather Charles Ernest deCheppe in Mumbai in India on the 10th March 1891.

Can anyone tell me how to find records of passenger lists from the UK to India between 1881 and 1891, or any other information?

Thanks

Chucky

There were no passenger lists from England until the 1890's.

A very definite possibility
Ship "Malwa" departed London 10/2/1890 bound for Bombay
Second Saloon
Miss Barley 24, Lady, 
Identified as, Single,  "Irish"


Your Caroline would have been 24 at this time , nearly 25.
The Irish could be "Irish Race" as opposed to "Irish born"

Cheers
