Hi Emma,
You say Henry married, was that when he was in India and was Henry's wife Mary Pauline Bissett Graham?

Hi,
Ok then........
They married on the 14Th November 1894
in Muttra Bengal India.
I noticed that his army papers are not listed, they may possibly be in the Kew.
My Grandfather was over there and was wounded in 1907. He came back to Ireland.
Have you got any army records?
I did see him as H Stewart as being deceased.
I will do a bit more searching and see if I can get him.

Hi again Emma,
Another thing, at this time, not exactly sure when, any children born to Army people overseas, they started a new registration of births, they were registered in the Fathers Birth country, so if Henry was Irish then the children would have been registered as Irish and not English.
This happened with Spike Milligan.
What were their names?

Then perhaps he was Irish!!
Their names were Mary Pearl Stewart and Henry Arthur Stewart born 1895 and 1897 I think
And their births were both registered in Ireland! I had been wondering why and thought it was because Mary (Henry's wife) was Irish... But it must have been because Henry was Irish too.

Maggsie what do you think?

Yes that's Mary Pearl.

On another related note...was it common for people named Mary to be baptised as Maria?
