Dear All,
My great-great grandfather - Richard FORD - was a serving soldier (Sergeant Armourer Royal Irish Regiment) in Ceylon c1837-1840. his wife - Mary - came with him. Whilst there a daughter - Diane FORD - was born at Trincomalee. Now, I cannot find any further reference to Diane anywhere, either in Ceylon, or back in Britain. I am wondering if she died in Ceylon, as an infant! Does anybody know if there are any burial records in existence for Trincomalee, for this period?
Kind Regards
Chris Merry
p/s i don't know anything about Richard and family
i looked in 3 websites re census and two indian sites
