Well.....
An ancestry tree author has this information on a public tree.
I think it may be worth further investigation

 Summarised-

Winifred Alice ALMOND  married in 1901 to William Henry WILKINS who died in 1905.

These were the parents of Marjorie WILKINS born 1902.

Mother Winifred then married to William Cecil KEYMER in 1906 in Bombay.

Mother Winifred in 1928 then married in Calcutta to Harold William MAJOR ( born 1890).

Winifred Alice MAJOR died in 1959.

{Rootschat  believes Daughter Marjorie  married Robert Edward SEALE.}

Then Marjorie SEALE ended up in England with Harold William MAJOR by 1962 per my reply #179 .

I have found a couple of Robert Edward Seales. the first is brother to Walter, DOB 9 Sept 1842. There is a record of a marriage between 1876 and 1880 to Sabinan Madaru. (British India Office Ecclesiastical Returns)
The other (and more mysterious as far as finding background) is Robert Edward Seale. Born 1889.
He was listed as aged 31 at his time of marriage to Marjory Gertrude Wilkins 7 Jan 1920 in Cawnpore. Here it grows interesting as his father is listed as Robert Richardson Seale. I can not find the background to RR Seale. I've sighted both certificate and transcription. Thanks Betty

I would be ordering the certificate of the death of Marjorie SEALE 1975 from GRO.

It may not, on the one hand, offer much, but then again it might hold the next pointer in the search.

Ok Sue. I'll give it a go and let you know how I went.
If at tbose times I sound dispirited, when we don't appear much closer to Robert, I'm at least providing some more information to the tree holder who is the grandson of Sheila's. And I'm learning about the life of a generation of folk in an area I knew nothing about. So all is not wasted. Cheers Betty

Hi Betty,
Can you see what these two records show http://tinyurl.com/jhhws8u
Seale Robert Edward 1876 British India Office Marriages Unspecified
Seale Robert Edward 1878 British India Office Marriages American Mission School Chapel
Just wondering who holds the American Mission School Chapel records as some may have been missed eg any children born to this couple or their deaths.

Cheers

The certificate has been ordered. This could take a few weeks, but it's another step in the right direction.
