Great Grandmother search Mildred Blanche Neal
« on: Tuesday 07 April 20 13:19 BST (UK) »
Greetings - I’m trying to find a death record for my great grandmother. I’ve scoured FIBIS, The British Library (Dept Of Asian studies) and all of the usual genealogy sites eg myheritage, ancestry, findmypast etc. I’ve listed below what I believe to be confirmed.  Any ideas would be most appreciated. Thank you.

NAME: Mildred Blanche Neal (Another entry was listed as Mildred Neal Blanche Neal
DOB: 20 January 1867 at Fort William, Bengal, India
PARENTS: Elizabeth McCann (1838-1877), John Neal (1834-circa 1895)
SPOUSE: Thomas Charles Wallington (1864-1943)
MARRIAGE: 6 December 1887 @ Trinity Church, Chunar, India
OCCUPATION: Thomas’s occupation noted as Carriage Examiner, SMR Railway
CHILDREN OF MARRIAGE: Milford John Wallington (also noted as Milford John Neal Wallington), Eric Thomas Neal Wallington, Beatrice Mildred Neal Wallington - all born in India as far as I can determine.

Timeline : Beatrice was born in 1893. Thomas remarried - on the 17 March 1902 to Alice Maude Weston at Meerut, Bengal, India. So I’m assuming Mildred died after 1893 and prior to 1902.

Other Info :
* Richard Neal, John Neal’s father, has listed his occupation as “HM 17th Regiment” on his marriage record to Margaret Johnston on the 11 December 1820 in Calcutta
* Mildred’s death was noted as dying from pneumonia on Milford’s Australian Army Record, no date recorded

Well it seems that Alice didn't last long after her marriage to Thomas.

She died on the 5th December 1910 at Ambala, Bengal, India, age 31. 

Not so far finding any death for the 1867 Mildred.
