I've been searching for Sabinan Madaru and Robert Edward Seale to see if they had children, but apart from the one transcription of the wedding, I can't find anything. Has anyone any ideas, please? Ta Betty

In 1956 a chap named ?*** Seale returned by ship from London to Bombay. He was a doctor born 29/6/1921 and travelled with wife and family. Interestingly  it was on the same ship Batory as Marjorie and Co. had been on in 1953 (see reply#193)

 I'll PM his name
I do not have access to FindMyPast, but I think his birth is listed there with some details

Hi Betty,
Were you able to see anything about this man on FindMyPast?
Sorry to be repeating myself ;D

No luck with Find my past for Trevor Seale. I did see the shipping list and he was the dad of a son by the same name. Going back to India, with him and his wife, daughter and son. Both of whom were school age. I also saw he was born in 1920. Now for Thackers. I've been in touch with a rep from Trevillion and Clarke (under a different name now), and it's back to waiting. No word from anyone else.

Mnmm..
I would love to know exactly what part the chap Charles FRANK played in the persuading of Marjorie SEALE to join Harmston's  circus and exactly when it was.

C. Frank Contortionist!!! To a young, impressionable girl, strong powers of persuasion, perhaps?

Ahh!
I had missed him on the list.
Daughter seemed to think FRANK was an animal trainer.
Anyhow, most likely the same man who, according to the story, influenced Marjorie SEALE to run away.

 At the moment it all seems so tantalising and totally inconclusive re your Robert STEVENS, but....?
