British Soldier India Marriage - 1850

[PaulJC]

I am researching a soldier called Thomas Wright, born 1825 in London.
He went onto become a high ranking officer in the British (Indian) Army between1850 and 1900.
I have a record of a marriage to a Clara Dempster in Ludhiane in 1850. I would like to confirm this and obtain a copy of the marriage cetificate if possible.

Thanks,
Paul

Order it from the GRO

Firstly, I need to confirm that it is correct and then dont I need a reference number?

You won't find it at the GRO.

British Library (India Office) maybe.

Newspaper reports of the marriage per FIBIS:

"At Loodianah on the 17th January by the Rev C Garbett A B Thos Wright Esq Lieutenant and Adjutant 46th Regt N I to Clara daughter of T E Dempster Esq Surgeon 1st Brigade Horse Artillery "

Note that at that time he was not in the British Army. He was an officer in the army of the Honorable East India Company (HEIC or EIC).

Thanks,
Would I be able to get a copy of the actual certificate? Might that have details of his father and his profession?

Perhaps you could track down this EIC cadet application record - I can't see it at FindMyPast:
