	Hi all, I am helping a friend who has not renewed her subs to GR. Only require help on the following query - Looking to see if John & Emily Wilson (paper maker) and children Walter, Percy, Lillian & Florence went to India, maybe between 1881 and 1896, they had a son born in Bengal c1894 then another daughter was born in England 1896. She has found the family on the 1881 and 1901 Census but not on the 1891. Thanks

	Thanks Maureen, for 1911 Census it looks like both parents have died. Just a query do you know if there are any records of trading with India?
Member Since: December 2004 Posts: 5,616 Send Message	MaureeninNY	Report	30 Oct 2010 06:20
