Ashley, you need to provide more information about the people you are asking about.

She married whom? Do you know whether she had children? Do you know who her parents were? Did she live in England? Etc.

Posts in these forums are virtually never seen by actual family members (do read a few posts on the general Trying to Find board), but other members are eager to help with searches, and will just be flying blind without all the info you have.

Ashley knows whom she married. So now we do too.

http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_person_search.php

Ecclesiastical records > Marriages > Bombay Marriages : Index of Ecclesiastical returns
Year of marriage 1909
Surname SUTHERLAND
First name James
Surname DAWSON
First name Norah

-- well, except that that Norah married in 1909. Would there have been two?

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

shows no Sutherland-Dawson births, nor does the complete index at Ancestry. Of course, we don't know where they might have had children.

Oops, looks like that 1901 marriage was a wrong 'un. The details:


Year of marriage 1909 Volume 102
Folio 279
Surname SUTHERLAND
First name James
DAWSON
First name Norah
>> Initial K K


All the rest of it - parents and grandparents as above - seems to be right, though.
