I had a bit of a breakthrough with the Indian branch of my tree at the weekend and got back a couple more generations, but of course now I want to get back even further. I've got back as far as Luke Heal(e)y and his wife Lucy / Lucey / Lucia who had three children that I've found so far (on the FamilySearch Record Search pilot site):
Mary Healey born 27 Aug 1795, christened 4 Oct 1795 Tanjore, Madras (my 4xg-grandmother)
Mathew Healy born 3 Jul 1809 christened 18 Oct 1809 St George, Madras, died 16 Nov 1815, buried the same day, Madras
Frances Healey born 24 Jul 1811, christened 23 Nov 1811 St George, Madras, married as Frances Letitia Healy to David Hadden 8 Jan 1829 Madras.
Luke Healey died 2 Jan 1816 and was buried the same day, Bellary, Madras. The British Library India Office website gives location as St Thomas's Mount and status as Conductor, Madras Ordnance Department.
Lucy Healey died and was buried 2 Nov 1849 Fort Thomas Mount, Madras, age 73, widow of Luke Healey.
Can anyone find a Luke Healey marrying a Lucy anywhere?
There is a possible Luke Healey baptism that I like the look of, 6 Jul 1766 St Saviour Southwark (London / Surrey), father Hugh Healey, but I haven't got any particular reason to think it's the right one. Normally I would check the names of Luke's children against Hugh and his wife and children but there must be loads of Luke's children missing between Mary and Mathew, and the only other possible child for Hugh that I can see is Mary Healey christened 9 Feb 1755 Holborn, parents Hugh and Mary, but that's from the non-conformist registers so probably not the same family?
Any ideas, please? Is there something somewhere that I've missed?
Edit - sorry, forgot to add another possible child of Luke:
Rebecca Healy married William Wright 30 Jul 1828 St Thomas Mount, Madras, one of their children was named Luke Healey Wright. Rebecca Wright died 18 Feb 1869, buried 19 Feb 1869 Madras, age 55.
And other Healeys who died in Madras and may or may not be Luke's:
Patrick died 1866 age 60, Lawrence died 1821 age 23, Edward died 1830 age 26, William died 1834 age 34, Mark died 1831 age 23, James died 1879 age 70.
