I've got some info on my great aunts daughter from the India Office history search. I found her name is Genevieve Matilda Philomena Razzano - nee Reading, formally Robson. I have also found her son's death - Dante Primo Razzano. He died from a bullet wound from his friend while playing cowboys and indians, he was 9 yrs old in 1940. They all lived in India at the time, i have of late, been told a lot of them moved away from India in the late 1940s but, we dont know where to.

I have tried to find any info on them - no luck, i wondered if the shooting would have been reported in any of the British newspapers....

Any pointers on this one please - Thanks:)

The Times Digital Archive only has 4 matches for Razzano, but none is from the 1940's.

You could have looked at that for yourself, Jacky! It's free to search, you only have to pay to view:
