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.
