hi-just wanted to apologise for my thread-but please believe me that earlier I could not find my existing one-it simply wasn't there. I would never deliberately waste other peoples time-especially when they are so kind. Please accept my apologies |

had a really good search on family search-but can't see a birth in India for Winifred under any spelling. maybe some kind soul could check army births for me? I would be grateful. If not I will have to try at my library on Ancestry when kids have gone back next week. I think I can look at that there! |

Thanks Christina-interesting though-as it does look like there was a Patrick devine in India in the same area-so she could have been born there too-so maybe not the one from Lancashire! ts all the same area of India though. One of Henry and Winifreds children was also born in Umballa. will certainly bear all these snippets in mind!! keep them coming-they all add up to eventually (I Hope) make a bigger picture!! |

Searched for Nicholas to see if he married in the same area as Winifred. Unfortunately it looks like he also died as an infant........... |

Possible brother to the Winifred who married Henry Strong. But as he was born in March 1853, he can't be the brother of Winifreda born in Liverpool in May 1853. |

yes I suppose so-But I don't know for sure if her Father was. Was hoping someone can help me with that. If there is a service record for him-it would show her birth-but I've not managed to find anything yet-only the possible in Lancashire-but that gives no idea why she was in Bengal!! thanks |

If her Father was in the army she could have been born abroad? |
