Nellie Heath

[nikemri]

I'm looking for any help to trace the history of:

John T F Heath Bn 1877 ...Madras,India
Harriet Alma Heath Bn 1878... Bangalore,India.....(Baptism Found)
Sarah A Heath Bn 1873....Burmah, India

They all appear on the 1881 Dartford census after their return from India after father William Heath was injured in action at Kabul during the second Afghan war  (Mother Mary Anne) but after 1881 they disappear.........i have searched hi and low but cannot find anything on them any help would be appreciated.....

Did William die from his injuries?

If not - could they have returned to India

If yes - did Mary Ann re-marry between 1881 -1891 and perhaps the children are shown under her new married name

Did Mary Ann return to Ireland?

Who is the Nellie Heath you refer to in your subject

[CaroleW]

Thought I would look at it from another angle

Are you descended from one of their children?

If so - which child and where did he/she marry and when

A Harriett Alma Heath married Alexander S Johnson in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on 10 September 1902.  Her father was William Heath, mother Mary Ann Davidson.
