Hi
Just noticed your reply, Chinapaddy. My great great grandfather was also in the military in India and got married in Oct 1880 in DumDum, India. I have a copy of the date from his service record, however have been trying unsuccessfully to track the brides father( who I think must also have been a soldier) is there any chance that you can see if there is any record for him in the archives please, I realise that you can't send a copy, but I am only an hour away from Kew if his record exists. The soldiers name was Joseph Conway and he married Mary Ann Dunn(e). His service record says SWB and there is an army number of 1172. There is also a reference to 1st Batt. Border Regt. for his NOK( now Mary Ann Conway).
Thanks for any help on this one
