India: WRIGHT Nilgiris, India
« on: Monday 16 February 09 11:37 GMT (UK) »
Hi.
I am helping my sister in law with her research.
Her mother, Ruby ( WRIGHT / CRANE/ or MARTIN) was born in 1925 in India. She attended a school at Nilgiris which was run by nuns. Seemingly there was a place called Wellington Barracks. Ruby's mother was Beryl WRIGHT ( or maybe Sarah WRIGHT). Beryl had a son, Dudley,  before 1925 and his father may have been a Frank CRANE. Beryl married an Aubrey MARTIN and moved to England c1936 where they had several more children.

Beryl WRIGHT also had siblings Sarah, Alice, Minar and Percy ( who died young).

Please can anyone help with this family or point me in the right direction for future research?

Thanks

Hopefully some of their records will be in the GRO overseas indexes:
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/order_certificates/Search_for_overseas_records/index.asp

There are some of these indexes that can be checked online at findmypast/familyrelatives etc.

Hi, Jorose,
Thanks for the links. I couldn't find any of them at "Find My Past" but will continue searching.

Do you know anything about Aubrey Martin? Was he involved in the military?  (Because there are different indexes it would help a lot to establish this family as military/civilian).
Do you have details (birth certificates etc) for any of the children born in England?
