Thank you both so much for your advice & suggestions. I will certainly give the British Library a go. Certificates a little expensive but worth every penny if I can discover some more facts regarding Great Granddads 1st wife. I've discovered a lot of previously unknown information from FAMILY SEARCH India Deaths & Burials/Births & Baptisms/Marriages.

I'm trying to learn more about JANE GILCHRIST born 1849, died Poonamalle,Madras on 29th April 1886. Believe she was Irish but trying to obtain her maiden name & where/when she married JAMES GILCHRIST.

Family Search has provided me with much information on the children of his 1st marriage, which I never expected to learn. Feel like the jigsaw is gradually being completed. Very excited to learn all these new facts.

Once again, sincere thanks for help.

My Great Granddad spent a large part of his military life based in India with both his wives (he was widowed out there) and children. Is it possible to obtain certificates for marriages,births & deaths now that I've got dates and names. Not sure how to go about applying and to whom. So overjoyed at finally finding out their names etc :). but not sure where to go next.  Can anyone help me? many thanks in advance for any help and advice.

His son (aged 16) worked at Leadenhall Market, London but no other clues on census.

Just can believe how awful the handwriting is on census but many thanks for the suggestion. I just wondered if he could have been a PORTER. He was a member of the Kings Bodyguard (Edward V11) & a Yeomen Of The Guard and spent the majority of his life in the army.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Great Grandfathers occupation 1901 census

Hi, I've been trying to decipher my Great Grandfathers occupation on the 1901 English census with absolutely no success. It states that he was retired from the army but just can't make out his occupation or possibly name of company.
Is anyone able to end my despair & frustration? Many thanks in advance.
