Hi Sandy.A few details as promised, mostly obtained from Ruvigny Plantagenet Book 0f Blood Royal. cfw mother's father P.C.LeGeyt was the Secretary/Governor of Greewich Hospital.  CFW was clearly an able student being a Demy of Mag col but he also was a keen/able oarsman rowing at 2 in the College Scratch Fours of1859. His career in the ICS culminated in becoming Commisioner of Patna region, his death on 07/06/1892 came shortly after he had organised a Durbar in the region. His wife Caroline Jane was dtr ofLtGen Dyott Atkinson. They had 3chi [2m 1f ] I can provide details of them if you want.
