Army Officer weds in India?

[flocklet]

Greetings fellow family seekers! I'm trying to get information regarding my Grandfather Henry Charles MASKELL b 1886. Family talk is he married for the 1st time a lady whilst in India,whilst serving in the Army  & had to wait for her to expire??before marrying again in 1950, at the age of 64!. How do I find out about this 1st marriage. Any ideas would be greatly helpful.
Kind Regards, Stella in Humid Hot Queensland, Australia!

Hi

You could try an overseas search on 1837Online http://www.1837online.com/Trace2web/
It is a pay to view site but may be of use

Also, (long shot, but who knows !) try the TNA (The National Archive) for MASKELL,

Good luck !
