Hi Steve

Lieut-Colonel North was in charge of the Artilley in Rangoon at the time Ed was there, so I will check his log book. Sadly Ed and Amelia did not announce their marriage to the London Times, so I shall have to check elsewhere.  I will find Amelia's maiden name ....  Hopefully it was  Johnstone and you are one of my long lost cousins !!!!.

Wouldn't that be a thing .Also like i said i couldn't find a marriage in this country but doesn't neccesarily mean they were married in Rangoon

I am still looking.

All I have so far is Harriet Kate Lane  dying on 14th Jan 1941, mother of Kathleen and R G McLaren Lane. However if this is her she would have reached a grand old age !!.

I have found nothing on William yet. But as he was in the Army for so long he must have reached a high rank . Any idea of his rank as sometimes names are put under this section without first names.

Hi Foxjohnstone,

do you have any information on which British Regiments served in India between 1936-1942. My grandfather, who was a Kenyon, was in the army out in India at that time. I know he served in the North Staffs regiment but not sure if he was with them at that time.

It's nice to hear from someone with a surname related to mine.


Just out of interest was your Kenyon ancestor called James, Mary or Annie Georginia ?.

As for who was out there during these dates ..... loads of regiments.  If you give me a name I can do a search.

Hi foxjohnstone,

No sorry none of those names ring a bell. My grandfather was called, John (also known as Jack) Kenyon.

Hi Gem

So kind of you to take the time to look

William LANE was a Sergeant in the regular army (Wilts Reg) when he married Harriet Annie Robin Le COCQ in Colaba, India in 1899...have had two searches done for his Army records at Kew, but they appear to either have been lost or mislaid...arrrg £££

He joined the Army Reserve (special reservist) in Oct 1914 and was a Sergeant when  pensioned off through ill health in 1919 (I have his Army Reserve paper work)

If you should come across any information on Amos Jackson or His wife Matilda Daykin before 1861 I would be very grateful.
