I am trying to break through my most frustrating brick wall. I have been looking for a couple of years for the birth/baptism or census for Herbert Charles Codd and his family so that I can take this line back further.
Herbert Charles Codd served in the British Army then moved to the Indian Army. He was of English nationality (NB. CWGC record him as Indian but marriage cert and birth cert for son record him as English) and his Grandaughter "believes" him to have been born in the UK to a London family. (No proof)
Date of Birth Apr 1874 (from Army Short Service papers) or 1877 (from marriage certificate).Died 19 Mar 1920 Meerut, India.
Father Charles Herbert Codd, Occupation MD, which I assumed to be a Doctor but may be wrong. Father recorded as deceased in 1903.
Marriage 1 to Alice Johannah Brien on 7 Aug 1901 in St Thomas Mount, Madras, India. She died 18 Jun 1902 Pallavarum, Madras, India.
Marriage 2 (my line) to Muriel Wilhelmina Fletcher on 23 Feb 1903 in Bezwada, India.
Children from 2nd marriage
Wilhelmina Sophia Lydia Betsy Codd b 12 Jan 1910, Viziangram, India. d 22 Apr 1910 Rajamundry, Madras, India
Charles Victor Codd b 10 May 1911, Viziangram, India. Believed to have remained in India after independence in 1947.
Ada Muriel Codd b 19 May 1916, Madura, India d 2008, Cheltenham UK
Marriage 1 Herbert/Hubert Edward Trutwein 25 Apr 1934 Vepery, Madras, India
Marriage 2 Leonard Bennett. Returned to UK in 1947.
Any help greatly appreciated, many thanks.
