Firstly thankyou forany help that can be given. On talking to my father in law he thought he had an uncle that died in second w.w but could not remember which side of the family he was from so for the momant am trying to trace Andersons info I have so far is Gertrude born1892 in India Dorothy born 1904 in Surrey Harold born 1905 Violet born 1906 and Percival born 1909 my f-i-l thought there was an older sibling but I have found no trace.Their parents were Charles Anderson and Florence Bigg but I might be confused as I have their marriage in 1896 so I thought I would appeal for help as I seem to be getting myself in a muddle

Thankyou for all the information . I had assumed Florence was in India in 1891 as her daughter was born there the following year .I thought I had found their marriage in December 1896 after 3 of the children were born so I may send for that certificate to see if it will shed any more light on this . Can anyone tell me what MHOWS is , is it an ancronym or a place in India my guess was a military hospital but dont know if this is right. But no sign of an older sibling that my f-i-l thought existed. Thanks again
