Milne of Calcutta, India

[moby1]

I didn't find out that she was a widow - where can I find that?

I have Annie Milne's birth cert - says she is illegitimate, so I assumed Catherine Milne was unmarried?

I didn't find out that she was a widow - where can I find that?

It's in one of the 1901 transcriptions. Not the one on Ancestry. Perhaps get Alice's birth certificate?

[moby1]

Oh I couldn't find Alice's correct birth cert, I paid for one that I thought fitted but turned out it wasn't hers (mother was called Ann). Any tips on how to find the right one.. or where to go from here please?

Kate is also a widow in the 1891 transcription from the same source.

So you got the cert for the Alice Milne born 1882 in Dundee?

[moby1]

Hi, yes the 1882 Birth Cert for Alice, states mother as Ann. So another red herring.

Could you tell me where the source is for widow? I haven't managed to find that. It doesn't mention it on the 1881 Scottish census, but am not looking at the original.

Just for interest the baptismal record for John has him born 19/12/1849 he is listed as John Hantour Milne and his father's profession is writer 

[miriamkinga]

Just for interest, Christiana Agnes's surname from her wedding entry looks like Lantour - he father is given as Lewis Lantour.

There's a death for a Lewis Lantour in the India Deaths in 1833 aged 36 and one for another daughter Lydia A aged 8 11/05/1835.
