My 2xGreat Grandmother was Bridget Curran Whitcroft (nee Davies). She went to India in 1869 with her husband William Whitcroft and baby daughter Lillie Gertrude Whitcroft. William was a colour Sergeant in 62nd Regiment (1st Wiltshire) I believe that Bridget died out in India, but the Army have no records of her. There was a cholera outbreak in July - August 1869. During this time 49 other ranks,3 women and 12 children died but no more details! William and Lillie returned to England in 1872 and William remarried in 1875.
Please does anyone have any idea how I could find out about a death in Lucknow or surrounding areas?
