Title: India?
Post by: kinglad on Monday 09 June 14 09:33 BST (UK)

I am trying to research a family who seem to have been living in India, they are
William Charles Henry Hughes Born 25-5-1884 Black Town, Madras died 1969 Goole Area
His mother Theresa Mcintyre born 1863
His father William Hughes born 1851 died 1-9-1884 I think and married 3-11-1880
Parents of William are his father Charles Hughes
Parents of Theresa are her father Peter Mcintyre Sergeant died 3-1-1873, I think he married a Ann Georgina?
William C. H. Hughes left India and came to England and married in 1912, it is thought it was in the papers that he had left but I can't find anything.
Any help on any of these individuals would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried the fibis website?  It stands for Families in British India Society.

Much to my surprise I managed to trace six generations of my son's partner's Indian ancestors back to the 1780s.
