I think the second one is a Mrs too - unless Elizabeth Palmer is a Mr! As they are the same .

Mrs E C Wingrove?
Husband charge of Rajah Pattiala?
Now at Portsea

Hi,

Thanks for replying. The Portsea connection makes sense. The names below are both daughters, though its strange the second is referred to using her husbands initials (EC Wingrove should be AC Wingrove)

The Wigroves lived in India so the Patiala part also adds up.

Thanks again
John
