Hello everyone, I have a bit of an ancestor problem and I was hoping that someone much more knowledgeable than me can come up with a way to solve it.
Does anyone know of any way to access records of the British in India other than those in the British Library? My gtx3 grandmother, Catherine, is the problem. I know plenty about her husband, John Stevens, a colour sergeant in the 97th Regiment of Foot, stationed in India from at least 1861 to 1866, their two children, Elizabeth and Frederick were both born there - Elizabeth in 1861 in Ferozepore and Frederick in 1864 in Nowgong. Catherine herself died in Ferozepore in 1866 but I can’t find details of her marriage to John and so no maiden name. There are no records of her in his military files, is there anything I can do or will she remain a mystery forever?
Thank you for reading.
