I am looking for information on my great great grandmother.
This is the info I have on her
Name: Elizabeth Hopwood
Born: 1840 in Cannore, Madras, India
Died: 13 June 1904 Place unknown
Her father was in the 25th Foot Rgmt Ref: N2/95
I was wondering if someone could give me a little more information on her who she married, who her children were and who her parents were.
Many thanks for any help that you can give me.
Best regards
Colleen.
Oddly there is also a birth registration for an Elizabeth Hopwood in Belgaum, India (Belagavi, Karnataka), 1840, father also in the 25th Foot, Vol.1260, page 42. It would seem rather a large coincidence if there were two possibles in the same regiment, I assume that this relates to the same Elizabeth, but may not. I also assume that you have information to confirm that yours was definitely the other one, if there were two.
I cannot see a marriage in the overseas register, so it is not possible to identify her marriage without more information. You do though have a precise date of death, so do you know what her surname was at that time, if so it may be possible to identify a possible marriage or a copy of the death certificate may assist.
Many thanks for your time and trouble to reply to me.
I also have the two Elizabeths that you mention and where I am in the dilema of which one belongs to me. Will try and do what you suggest and get her birth certificate. Do you think I should ask for both birth certificates?
Your help is much appreciated
Regards
Colleen
