Hello folks
I'm trying to find the baptism for an Eliza Frederick born about 1825 in Bengal India, her father was John Frederick, Mother's name unknown this is what I'm interested in finding.
I have looked on Family Search with no success
Any help will be vey much appreciated
regards

A couple of marriages that might be of interest.
1818 St Johns Calcutta - John FREDERICK a gentleman’s servant to Rozea GOMES
1821 St Johns Calcutta - John Christian FREDERICK schoolmaster, widower to Jane WARD
-
John Frederick was "a sergeant in the Bankshall" in 1851 per Eliza's marriage record.
-
there are these baptisms at Fort William, Calcutta
19 Oct 1806 Ann daughter of John Frederick & Ann
8 Oct 1821 for Matilda, Dianna & James children of John Frederick of the arsenal dept and his wife Ann.
Also a son John baptised 12 March 1804 in Seringapatam, Madras, no mother mentioned.
Or perhaps not as there's a burial
18 Oct 1822 John Frederick 50 Pension Sergeant Artillery from Fort William
Unless Eliza was older than she claimed at marriage which is quite possible as on burial she's noted as 40
Fort William 27 May 1853 Eliza Faria 40 wife of George Augustus Faria, Preventive Service
