INDIA: SHADWELL and INGLIS in Durgapore

[Londoner2]

Hi Andrew - I should have remembered that information!  But it is quite a while since I have had free time for Shadwell research.

What other journals etc would be useful for tracking Bengal ancestors who do not appear much in EIC records, and for picking up the local news of the period?  So far, I have not found anything much on Henry Shipp Shadwell, J B Shadwell's brother, so I need to look further afield. 

Looking forward to reading that book ...

Hello All,
Andrew you seem to have a great deal of information, I am searching a link between Shadwell and Inglis, so far found very little about Inglis family, The Shadwells have been fabulous thanks to Londoner2. How are you Vivienne?  Can you give me any ideas where to go for Inglis information, The family seem to have stayed around the Allahabad region for many years, and my Grandfather worked for Pioneer Press I think as a photographer. My grandfather was the son of William Earle Shadwell.
My mothers generation ended up in Assam, but I dont know how or when. Also looking forward to the book about the Khasi Hills I remember them well.
Thanking you
Judy

Hi all.

I am uploading a Brockway photo for Knysh, which has not scanned in very well. My mother said that it is probably Mary Ann Brockway, one of Emma Brockway's sisters. If that is correct, she would be sister-in-law to J B Shadwell.

Judy — I'm working on it, but I can't actually find any connection between your Inglises and the Inglis family at Chhatak and in the Khasi Hills. According to his 1850 will, George Inglis of Chhatak (born c. 1774, father of Harry Inglis) had 8 children — Harry, John, George, Jane, Elizabeth, Sarah and Mary Ann — but no William, who as a contemporary was the father of your George.

Hi Andrew Thank you for looking. I'll keep delving and see what I can find. I was talking to my mum today she say's the name Charles rings a bell so I'll go down that line for a while and see what I find.
Thanks again
Judy

Hi name is Judy I am a new starter at the family search but have reading through some of your chats. I went to a boarding school in Darjeeling called St Andrews and remember going up to St Paul's for evening church services on a Sunday. My father also worked in Durgapore in 1959 at the new steel works.  Prior to that we lived in Assam my father was involved with A&J Main building the tea drying sheds.
Can you give me any hints and tips for my family search My mother was old British Raj and it is her family I am trying to find so far not much luck. The names I am searching are Shadwell and Inglis
