Jardine in India

[sharkey]

William Duffin Jardine born c. 1805 died 1885 Calcutta.  Married twice (at least) First Jane Golding (1818-1854)  in 1835 in Madras second Maria D'Costa possible aka Josephine Maria Decotta.  Josephine Maria born c. 1838 and died Calcutta 1878.

Can't locate marriage to either Maria or Josephine.
Also marriage of daughter Winifred JARDINE born 1872 to (francis) Charles Vincent GRAVES,
Any help appreciated/

sharkey, what was Jardine doing in India?  Commerce, trade, East India company employee?
Where was he born and when did he go to India?

The reason I ask is, might his marriages be on the overseas records... they have a special name and are lodged separately from ordinary uk marriages.
That's a bit/very muddled but maybe you get my point.

Thanks for your reply.  I think he was in the army.  His death records state Military Pensioner.  I have not yet checked the Chelsea Pensioner website.

If he was in the British Army, I think I am correct in saying the records of BDMs would be in Chaplains Returns.
I don't know what date those start.

I don't know how you access those.

Hi Sharon

In the Armed Forces Marriages  there is a reference to a marriage of William Duffin Jardine in 1835 - there is no Jane Golding listed but there is a Jane Holden?

Best wishes

Hi

If that is the 17 Feb at Trickinopoly Madras, its the correct marriage.  I have Jane as "Holdin" and "Golding" but Holden is a distinct possibility.  On two of  her children's births, she is just plain Jane.  On the birth of William Edward  in 1839 in Madras she is Jane Golding.  I think Jane died in 1854.

But the fact that its in the Armed Forces marriages is good news.    I don't suppose these is a further reference to William Duffin jardine and either Josephine Decotta or Maria D'Costa about 1855 ish?

regards,
Sharon
