Hi Anna,
Thank you for spotting that mistake with the age for Clarissa Catherine Boyle. I was getting confused with another great-grandmother of mine. Anyway, to answer your question, yes there were several children, all born in India whose details I have. The marriage was by banns and took place in a church, whose name is not quite clear on the copy of the record, but looks like Belgaum in Black Town, Madras. George Albert Claudius was Church of England, but it could be that Clarissa's Family are Roman Catholic, although I do have a copy of the marriage record for her possible parents, i.e. Henry Emanuel Boyle & Josephine D'Silva, but once again, the copy doesn't show the name of the church. I shall just have to hope that I strike lucky soon, but if she was a Catholic then maybe I won't be so lucky.

I am trying to trace the parents of Colonel Robert Dent, born ca. 1650-1660. His wife was Anne Cotton, daughter of George Cotton of Stratford Le Bow, London. Family history seems to think that he would be descended from the Dents of Hallaton, Leicestershire from a branch that later moved and settled in London. He died in 1704 in London. I have hit a brick wall with going back further with him, so any help would be very much appreciated. His son, Commodore Digby Gibert Dent is my 6x great-grandfather.
