LILLICRAPS marry in Rangoon but how did it come about

It might be worth checking FIBIS (Families in British India Society), as some of their records include Burma?

KGarrad, Many thanks for this idea. It is a great site full of information. No luck on my people yet but great reading.

Thanks for your guidance.

Deborah Mary Rosa DAVID died of Diabetes aged 37 on the 15 October 1911, she was buried the next day in the Cantonment  Cemetery of  Bengal.

Great information and thanks so much for your taking the time to find this.

Esther may well have taken Deborah to  India in search of a husband for her, women were in great demand by the British men in India, many single women went in search of husbands. You may find it of interest to read  "The Fishing Fleet Husband  Hunting in the Raj"  by Anne de Courcy, it tells of the life the British women lived in India at that time. 

Those women that failed to find a husband and came home still single, were described as "Returned empties"

Again a great bit of information. I will read this with interest.

Many thanks
Graham
