Wondering if the above is Colin?
Should have info on marriage like bachelor/spinster, ages & signatures, witness etc (if you have access to view this image) http://www.rootschat.com/links/01jgu/

In regards to the accent, I notice that both Colin's parents Walter and Kathleen were also born in India, so Colin would be second generation born in India, which may explain his accent.

The 1925 marriage at Secunderabad is transcribed under Lily Dorothy JONES to Walter Earle Seale and also transcribed under Lily Dorothy JONES to John SEALE.
Interesting that document image for the above is of a marriage extract issued in 1960 (ordered, paid for by someone? and sent to UK High Commission ). The extract shows the marriage details as Lily Dorothy JONES and Colin I? SEALE

In 1926 there is a birth at Secunderabad for Colin Bruce SEALE; Father SEALE; Mother -

...wondering if this is the person who ordered and paid for the marriage extract in 1960

Colin Seale, both parents Walter Seale and Kathleen Seale, were noted as witnesses on Sheila's 1915 marriage to Bertram YOUNG, and on Hilda's 1917 marriage to George GRANT.

Betty, does this description match?

Army papers for Colin SEALE; Reg No: 37838; Royal Field Artillery
Height: 5feet 9inches
Complexion: Darkish
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Dark Brown
Religion: CofE
3 small scars back of R. hand and wrist. 2 small moles back of L. shoulder
NOK: Walter Earl Seale (father); Katie Seale (mother); Sheila and Hilda (sisters)

In 1907 Colin SEALE "Purchased discharge under article 1142 R.W." 26/7/05-13/2/07 1 yr 203 days. 19th Bty RFA
R.W.=Royal Warrant. Since the enlisted man signed up for a minimum term, if he wanted out, he would have sought formal permission and paid a sum calculated on what training he received and the length of service still outstanding to serve. I am assuming that he would also lose any entitlement to a pension.

Mmm! very interesting notes there. COL

So, possibly the son when  marrying perhaps needed an extract of his birth.
Where was Colin SEALE, his father at that time?
Deceased? Or...?
