I am assuming it is this Thomas Naden.  The fact that he was in the Police is one of the coincidences. My Grandfather (Nina's brother in law) was ex Sherwood Foresters (like Thomas) and joined the Bombay police which was where Thomas was discharged. It could be that they married two sisters around the same time,because they were ex colleagues and friends or I could be clutching at straws! My grandparents left Indis in 1919, and my gfather died  in 1920

Other Countries / INDIA : Nina Astridge born 1887 in India
« on: Monday 30 June 14 15:54 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to find any information about my Grandmother's sister, Nina Astridge. She was born in 1887 and I have details of this plus all relevant details on her twelve siblings. However she seems to disappear. I have a possible marriage for her to Thomas C Naden@ 1913 in Poonamallee Tamil Nada .  This has been gleaned from a public family tree on another site, but not verified. There are some coincidences to suggest that this might be true, in which case they had a daughter, Irene Gladys May in 1914.
I have searched all the usual places online and come up with nothing. Has anyone got any ideas where I can look next?

Thanks Jan, glad it was useful. I would be delighted if you found anything more about James and Albah. I've seen their marriage record, but hit the proverbial brick wall when trying to go any further back, mainly because of commonality of names.
If I find anymore about John nelson's children are you interested, or do you have everything you need now?

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.

Not sure if you are still looking for information still on this family, but Jane Eliza Crosbie was my gggrandmother (b1839). She had a brother John (Nelson) Crosbie born 1853 who married Elizabeth Montgomery in 1860. I have some details for 12 of their children, and some info on his parents if you are still interested.
