Ancestors in India, inspired by WDYTYA
My GGG Grandfather Thomas Newey was born in the Birmingham area but was single when he joined the army in 1793. He had 6 children born in India to two different wives. I don't have maiden names for either of them.
He enlisted in the 17th Foot Leicestershire Regiment in 1793 in Bristol. Served 26 years, Private: 3 years, Corporal 10 months, Sergeant 13 years 1 month and Quartermaster Sergeant 9 years 7 months. Conduct excellent. Discharged at Ghazipur, India in 1819
His first wife was Jane, they had 2 children and Jane died in 1810. In India I presume.
He then married Elizabeth, my GGG Grandmother. They had 4 childen in India and the last one in Northamptonshire. Elizabeth is buried in Stamford, Lincolnshire.
How can I find Jane and Elizabeth's maiden names? I have looked on FIBIS. The children's baptisms are on the but not the marriages.
Remember I can't afford to travel to India to search their records.
