The National Probate Calendar for England & Wales records the will of Anne Ramsay (wife of John Baptiste Ramsay) late of 9 Victoria Road Kensington who died 21 October 1874
-
She is at that Kensington address in the 1871 census. Aged 60, born Prince of Wales Island (the official British name for Penang)
-
She was at that address in 1861 too

Wow. You have no idea how long I've looked for this. Only record we ever had was for the marriage in Sholapore India. i have Find My Past and they are hopeless have the place of birth as Wales!!! Thanks heaps Miriam Australia

Have you informed FindMyPast regarding the transcript error?
The original says Prince of Wales Island - not that dissimilar to Wales ;D
But if nobody tells FindMyPast, how can they correct it?

It is recorded as such in the Will calendar: "wife of John Baptiste Ramsay".

Shaun,
Can you please confirm if the Calendar states that the will was proved at the Principal Registry? If I can quote where it was proved, when and by whom, in the application to my local office, it will speed the process for obtaining a copy; otherwise, it's likely to be delayed - awaiting a look-up by staff.
Thanks, in anticipation.

Yes it was the Principal Registry. Probate was granted in 1874. The named executor was a Colonel George Leckie.

John Baptiste Ramsay was in the 3rd Bombay European Regiment in 1854 and by 1859 he was a Lieutenant -Colonel. London Gazette.
