Hello All,
Can I please ask for help, please.

I am looking for
1, the birth in India of a May Alicia Eleonor brown (1894)
2, The death of her father William Henry Brown 22/12/1868, he was in the army and had the rank of sergeant major.
I and a distant relative have been searching for her birth and the death of her father and mother in India for many years. I keep going back to May every so often.

This is the recent message I had from my relative.

Hello Sue,
May Alicia Eleanor BROWN is my paternal grandmother. All she knew about her childhood was that she was born in India where William Henry Brown was stationed in the Army. The only information we ever got from her was that her parents died in India when she was very young and she was shipped to England and brought up by her grandmother and maiden aunt Alicia in London. She could never remember her mother's name is mentioned.
This is all the information we have a part for May's marriage cert with her father's name and rank.
 
    Can I ask if anyone can help us

   all the best

   Sue Ault

William can't have died in 1868 if his daughter wasn't born until 1894.
You have another thread about these people.

Is this a reply to a post on the other thread? The 2 threads have the same title.
Edit. I've asked a moderator if threads should be merged.

Dear Susan, I have merged your two topics, please post only the once to avoid duplication and confusion - topics can be moved if need be you just need to ask. I have also changed your subject line to include the name of the person you are researching this helps a lot when you are trying to locate posts.
