Aspen Report 25 Apr 2013 12:21

Hello
I am looking for in formation for R C Montgomery's wife.
I can find the family leaving India 23/12/1928 and then again returning 03/09/1929
R C Montgomery b. 1896 Enginneer
Mrs R C Montgomery b. 1902
Miss Cynthia b. 1923
Miss Patricia b. 1926
Miss Joan b. 1928
In 1929 their address was Littlefield Sunningdale Berks
I have checked family trees and birth and marriages but cannot find any information for Mrs R C Montgomery.
I cannot find any member leaving England before 1928 to go to India or returning after 1929.
Any information would be helpful. :-D

The birth for one of the children will give her maiden name

Shirley
As I could not find Patricia's birth or Joan's I was not sure if that one was the family I was looking for, but kept it in mind.
Thank you for replying so quickly.
regards
Aspen :-D

Maybe the children were all born in India

I think they may have been born in India. I noted that R C seemed to have been born 1896, 1898 and 1899.
Robert Clayton Montgomery Marriage looks promising!
Thank you

I had a look at Joan Y Montgomery tree but there are no other siblings there. I did note the date of birth and wondered if her birth was registered there after they came back from India. :-S
