Title: King
Post by: suchin on Thursday 29 January 15 11:04 GMT (UK)

Looking for the death notice of John King Esq. late of Calcutta who died 12 July 1859 at Dartmouth Devon immediately after his arrival in England.
Married twice 1st to Mary Ann Stone in 1825 Calcutta.
2nd marriage to Bridget Enright in 1829 at Fort William Bengal India.
Was there other Kings related to him living in Dartmouth Devon?
Cheers suschin

What do you mean by "death notice"?

DO you mean his death certificate ? If so that can be ordered from www.gro.gov.uk, once you have found the entry in the indexes (try freebmd)
Or do you mean an obituary in a newspaper? If so, are you sure there was one?

Sorry I meant obituary or family notices, or newspaper articles about his death.
I do not know if there was one

Maggsie, Unfortunately at this stage I cannot see a connection.
My Bridget Enright was born in 1816 at Gosport.. (Army Births & Baptism-87 Regiment Vol. 1336. Page 19.)  Bridget's father (name unknown) at the time was Pt. Enright. I have not researched this information myself.
The following I have researched myself:
Bridget Enright, married John King on the 17 Feb. 1829, at Fort William, Bengal India.
They had two sons: Edward John King, born 3 Jan 1833, Calcutta, Bengal, India. Died 23 April 1853,  in Adelaide, South Australia.
Arthur Enright King, Born 23 August 1839, Calcutta, Bengal, India. Died 9 Oct 1874, Gleneleg, Adelaide, South Australia, leaving a wife and six children.
Have more information if required.
