Judy — I'm working on it, but I can't actually find any connection between your Inglises and the Inglis family at Chhatak and in the Khasi Hills. According to his 1850 will, George Inglis of Chhatak (born c. 1774, father of Harry Inglis) had 8 children — Harry, John, George, Jane, Elizabeth, Sarah and Mary Ann — but no William, who as a contemporary was the father of your George.

Hi all — C.K. Hudson was the Principal Assistant Commissioner of the Khasi and Jaintia Hills from 1855. He had previously been a deputy collector in Assam (see The Asiatic journal and monthly miscellany 1838 in Google Books)

When the lime merchant Harry Inglis returned to England from the Khasi Hills, he appointed C.K. Hudson as manager of his company. Later on (after Harry's death), his son Leo Inglis appointed J.B. Shadwell as chief accountant of the company. After Hudson's death some time after 1878, Shadwell became the manager.

From my notes, the refs in Londoner2's letters to Hudson in Cherrapunji are as follows:

  • Mr Hudson has sent me some flowers and vegetable seeds (J.B. Shadwell, 23 Oct 1863)

    I saw Miss Hudson yesterday she told me to give her love to Georgie & said she would tell her Papa that Georgie wished to have his & her likeness (Emma Shadwell, 24 March 1864)

    Another party of the survey have come up to survey the hills They have pitched their tent between Mr Hudsons house & the bridge towards Mr Inglis house (Emma Shadwell, 9 Feb 1864)

This is all a bit of a coincidence - I am just completing the book on the Welsh missionaries in the Khasi Hills and this morning was writing a little about the Shadwells, so fortuitously came across your very recent postings.
