he had 4 children all girls
Virginia Esther 1858-1937
Adelaide Constance 1860-1893
Cordelia Gertrude 1865 - ?

Seeing the dates of birth of the children their might has been several wives.

I am really not sure, however I think it must have been England. He is recorded in Bengal India in 1858 as the father of Virginia Esther
Thanks for replying

As Virginia was born in 1858, I would suggest that her father was probably born before 1840

..........and there is no real reason to think that the girls didn't all have the same mother

Have you considered that he was an illegitimate child, born to a mother surname Matthews, and given the middle name of Maylark as an indication of the name of his father??
