Charles Colchester: Married Mary Ann Freeman: India 1889

tfreeman119 — 2009-04-04 10:36:27Z

I am looking for family connections to Charles Colchester.
He was in India during 1889 and married my great grandmother, Mary Ann Freeman, in the Bengal Presidency.

The marriage is recorded in the Bengal Marriage Indexes 1874 - 1896.

Mary Ann's previous husband had been William Herbert Freeman, a soldier in the Suffolk Regiment fighting on the North West Frontier (NWF) and who died of cholera. He is buried in a Christian cemetery in Kohat in the NWF.

All information gratefully appreciated. Tony Freeman

If you are looking for connections with the COLCHESTER family, you might be interested in the information I've put here:
http://www.thirzah.co.uk/colchesters/

If you are after more recent information, please feel free to contact me, and I will forward your query to my uncle, who is the current "family expert".

At present there are two main "branches" of the COLCHESTER family tree: A Suffolk (England) branch and a Gloucester (England) branch. At present these are not connected.
