I have most of the following info gained from either LDS or FindMyPast (and of course the India Office and FIBIS)
James Crosbie was a Corporal, H Artillery
James Crosbie ( b @ 1806) married Albah Williams (b @ 1821, parents John and Anna) on 14/8/1837
4 children - Jane Eliza 19/9/1838, Ann 16/6/1844 -died same year, Margaret born (or baptised) 27/10/1845, Alice 25/11/1850, John Nelson 14/3/1853.
John Nelson married on 22/9/1873 spouse Elizabeth Montgomery (father Charles Wilson Montgomery)
John Nelson's children as follows (not in chronological order!)
John Nelson 10/8/1878 died 6/9/1879
Eileen Maud 9/12/1890
Mabel Phillipinee Ann 18/11/1876
Alfred 27/12/1881
Charles Wilson 1/12/1883
Ellen Jane 2/12/1885
Eustere/Qustice Lionel 30/10/1887 (I suspect the name is actually Eustace!)
Edward James Maurice 27/4/1901
Arthur William 27/2/1896
Stella Alice 15/6/1880
Blanche Alberta Mercy 18/8/1874
Muriel Ursula Sybil 3/1/1899
All the above dates are probably baptismal - I can't remember and didn't make it clear in my notes - my apologies
I followed this branch in detail because an Australian newspaper mentioned a CW Crosbie in connection with a relative of mine (Jane Eliza's son , Charles W de Rusett ) As you can see Charles Wilson Crosbie is probably the same one! I also found him on 1901 census - in England staying with his sister Blanche, who had married Arthur Henry Evans and moved back to England. Of course they are all cousins to my branch!
Hope this is helpful,and thanks to the other posters, the death info fills a few gaps.
