Other Countries / Death of soldier's wife in Lucknow.
« on: Wednesday 27 May 09 16:52 BST (UK)  »
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?

Hello KirstyG,

On Hugh McWain's marriage certificate his father is named as Hugh McWain too!!!!

Thank you for replying to my query, I think this hunt is going to be very difficult as there seems to be thousands of varieties of McQueen etc!!!! I will keep on looking. Thanks for your help.

Hello Karenlee,

Thank you so much for taking the time to look up my 2xGreat Grandfather and for giving me a few more leaves for my Family Tree!! I just wish I could find out where in Scotland he came from, but I'll keep looking.
Thanks again.
