Thank you for that Ken. I've never used findmypast before but will take a look this evening and take your advice re the certificate/indexing errors.

Thanks again!!

Thanks all for the leads, that's very useful. Fingers crossed that I find something.

Re being the son of an officer, not necessarily the case sorry. Should have said member of the army really but just got the wrong wording at the time. From the census saying born East Indies (In Army) I only know that he was born to someone in the army, no idea of rank etc.

Armed Forces / British Army in East Indies

Hi

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to find records of the birth of an Army Officer's children in the East Indies? I have just discovered my ancestor Thomas Newell on the census listed as born in "East Indies (In Army)" in c.1806.

Obviously, I need to find his birth to find the names of his parents etc.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?   ???

Thanks!

Jo

Sorry, it's not in great condition but any info appreciated.

Hi, can anyone tell me anything about this group of soldiers please? I have no idea when this was taken, whether the uniforms are army/RAF? Can anyone help? Thanks

Hi Paul

Thanks for looking, that's very strange that you couldn't find the marriage or children's births either but never mind.

Thanks also for the details of the two possible births for Thomas. Can you tell me what the (bagnel) is?

Thanks!
