Hi,
sorry I havn't got back sooner,had relatives over.
Thank you so much for looking up all this info.I wonder if like a lot of people in the Raj they sent their children back to England to school and that's why they don't register on the 1911 census with their parents. I can't think who Kathleen Veronica is for the moment.I do have the surname Vickers in my family tree and I'll have to see where it fits in.
