hello Katrina. I am descended from Amelia's elder brother John. The possible India connection came through my grandmother Ruby Coleman (nee Kidson). What I wrote is all that I know about the India connection. I agree that the dates do not seem right for the John Kidson buried in 1826.
Thank you for the photo.
Regards

Hi Belinda..
I am a New Zealand descendent of John & Amelia Kidson.

We believe that John's parents were in India and understand that John's father had married an indian woman and that John was sent to be educated at Eton.

We understand that both parents were killed in an uprising in India. This meant that there was no more money available so John could not continue at Eton.

I have not been able to get any further but perhaps Eton may have some records or military or Police in India.

If you can find any further information would appreciate being kept in the loop.

Good Luck
Raual
