Dear All,
I am looking to find out who my Great Great Great Grandfather was. I have the following information on him thus far:
Albert Janzen (at sometime we think he changed his surname to a more angloised version - Jansen) came to India from Holland in 1806 according to the Madras Muster Rolls 1813 to 1816. He was in the Q.M.S., 2nd Battn. 9th Reg. N. I. He married a Maria Veza (or Vaza) at Quilon on 3rd February, 1810 (Reference British Library Records - N/2/4/390).
According to FamilySearch.org there is a record of the Death of an Albert Janzen who was buried on 7th Dec 1825 at Vizagaptam, Madras, India (Film Ref: 521839)
I do not know how old he was nor when and where in Holland he was born. I have been advised that there was no East India Company ship sailing from Holland to India. Can anyone please help be to find out more information on him - I would especially like to know his date of birth, place of birth, mother, father. I have come to a complete holt on this one and do not know any other means of tracing him. Please help!!
Craig Jansen
