Ceylon 1799 to 1818
« on: Thursday 19 December 19 08:37 GMT (UK) »
My ancestor was in the British Army. He was stationed in Ceylon from 1799 to 1818 when he returned to UK.
He had children, and may have married in Ceylon. I have names of wife and children.

I have failed to find birth or marriage entries in Chaplains register etc.

Is there any church source or other records available in Ceylon for the period 1799 to 1818?

Thank you.

https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-Records/british-in-ceylon-parish-records would appear to cover part of the period (from 1815).

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
