Henrietta James born in India

[orangelil]

I was hoping for some pointers please on how to find my G G Grandmother who was born in India.

Here she is on 1901 census in belfast

and in 1911

I have Henrietta James' marriage certificate to Sergeant William Alfred Edwards in 1885 in Trinity COI Belfast.  Her father was Patrick James, a messenger.

She was a minor when she married in 1885
The 1901 and 1911 censuses put her birth between 1866-70.

As you can see she says she was born in India.  I was hoping to find a birth for her, but am having no luck.  I don't know who her mother was, where in India she was born, or why her father was in India. 

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

The only one I can find is Henrietta Jeraldine James, born 1883 in Calcutta. The problem is that the father is shown as Lewis James, not Patrick! The mother is shown as Anne.

Hi Tony
Thanks for responding.  I saw that record too, unfortunately the birth is too late

Hi There,
I too am searching for the same Henrietta James. I stumbled upon your posts tonight whilst searching for India births.  She was my GGG grandmother on my fathers side. She married a William Edwards in 1885. I have been able to trace the records for the children, but have no record of death or birth for Henrietta. I would love to get some info from you. Also in 1911 Irish census, William is not listed...but can't home in on a death record. I know he was born in London to an Albert Edwards so am wondering if he returned there. I am a beginner in this, so any help is much appreciated!
