Hello All
I am researching my family tree. My maternal grandfather was a Hugh Stanley Menasse. He was born in Khandwa Madhya Pradesh in 1904 and married Amelia Gertrude Guest (nurse in the JJ hospital Bombay) Hugh worked on the Great Indian Penninsular Railway. He was a very close friend of Hugh Pinto and a Mr Milford. Mr Milford's daughter Colleen and my mother Gertrude June Menasse were very close friends. I am desperately trying to get in touch with the Menasse descendants to add to the family tree and obtain as much information as I can. My great grandfather Richard Hugh was also on the GIPR and died in an railway accident either in Khandwa or Bhusawal India. Richard Hugh Menasse had the following brothers Luke, Thomas and Lucy Menasse (married a Benjamin Robert woods. Thomas Menasse (Tom) descendants are either in the UK or in Bombay India.
I have traced Luke's son Donald's children to Nagpur. Is there anyone out there who knew Reggie Menasse he was Donald's brother?
Richard Hugh Menasse father was Anthony Robert Menasse who was a doctor in the Bhuldhana district in India.
If any one knows a Menasse who belongs to this line of Menasse's please request them to contact me

I do not know if this is relevant, but my Great Great Grandma was the daughter of Thomas Menasse and Agnes Clemen. My GGrandma was born in 1863. She married Charles Arthur Davies in 1882 in Kamptee, India. If you are still looking and this may be of interest to you, I would be glad to hear from you. Delmara
