    I wonder if someone could check Find My Past for a death in their British India Office Deaths & Burials collection?

    It's for Elizabeth Monks, born and died 1878 in Deesa, Bombay.

    If it's not just an index I'm wondering if it might mention the parents.

    The Baptism record gives more a bit more info than the Death record. DOB was 16 Nov 1877. Parents: Francis and Margaret (maiden name not included). Baptism date was 28 Nov.

    Yes, that's her father - he died in Karachi in 1889.

    I've actually had some major breakthroughs with this family today.

    Firstly, the record of the his daughters early demise which, as I say, I had missed before now.

    Then I found his sons military record, meaning I can now account for all his children - one born in Fermoy and the other five in India.

    But lastly, and a brick wall for some considerable time, following his death his wife returned to Ireland where she married a man I had always believed to be John Leary but is in fact Deary.

    I have now identified her two children from this second marriage and both her own and her husbands deaths, things that had eluded me for too long.
