Can anyone who is knowledgeable on Shropshire towns help with deciphering the following? It looks to me like "Thomulgherry" although don't let that influence you. It is the last of the three places listed. The first is "Shrewsbury", and the second is Fayabad, India.
Thanks

Sorry, I think I have finally found this place in India...
"Trimulgherry also written as Thirmulgherry is a highly developed suburb of Secunderabad in the state of Andhra Pradesh. It is the anglicised name for Tirumalagiri. The place lies to the north of Hyderabad."
They must have come back from India for birth of second child, and been there again when 3rd child born.

I was interested to read your post on Trimulgherry. I have been researching this area .I beleive it was an Army Base.
My Grandfather was born ther while his father was serving in the Army.

Hi Dee,
Welcome to Rootschat. Hope you find it as useful as I have.
You don't mention surnames anywhere in your post. The image I posted was for the births of the children of my grt grandmother's brother John T. Simpson. John served in South Africa (1901-02), India (where he was married), and in France in WWI for over 1 year, May 21, 1915 to June 6, 1916.
He was in Shropshire Light Infantry and married a woman named Garrett in India. Children were Violet, Gladys, and Jack Simpson and I have been hoping to track their descendants.
