India: looking for some Stricklands
« on: Sunday 23 May 10 19:50 BST (UK) »
Hello

I  am wondering if anyone can help. My great-grandfather was born and lived in India and Burma. A family member has a copy of his baptismal certificate which states that he was bptd Cassily Lionel Strickland at St James' Church, Delhi, 8th March 1884, son of George and Harriet Strickland.

It is possible he attended St joseph's school in Calcutta. As an adult he worked as a Post Office Inspector, and moved to Burma, having married Susan Edith Beauchamp, possibly in Calcutta. They had four children, Joan, Jean, Paul and Ruth.

I think George came to India with the Dunlop rubber company as a pattern maker.

This is everything I know and I would dearly love to find out more. Can anyone put me in the right direction for either verifying these details, or better still finding out more!

Thanks.

The only thing I can add to what you already know is that a Vincent Norman Strickland was born to a George and Harriet Strickland at Dalhousie*, India on the 22nd Feb 1880.

* Dalhousie is located approx 446 kms from Delhi.

Tony - do you mind me asking where you found reference to Vincent? I'm a bit stumped how to get any further.

Thanks

The record came up on FamilySearch. I just put in the surname and did a search through the Asia section of the results!
