Genealogy Chat

I have hit a solid brick wall. I have trying to find the details of my father-in-law who was born in India on 27/01/1924 and died there on 09/10/1960 after getting Tetanus.
His name was Edward Saxton Tully.
His wife's maiden name was Ursula Lever she and her five children came to the UK after his death and lived in London.
They lived in Hyderabad/Scunderabad/Lalaguda area in India and Edwards job was an engine driver.
I have the Lever side of the family as this was recorded by Ursula for reference for immigration.
Any help would be useful

There's loads of info on your previous thread, 5 pages.

What else are you wanting to know about him, Rick?

You know his DOB, DOD, occupation, wife, children.

Assuming the list of Tully baptisms on page 4 of your earlier thread is the correct family, then his father's name was Joseph Henry Tully.

I'm sorry but I have not seen the previous threads as I have only received the threads on the Roach and Yates families. Please give me some idea where I may be able to recover the threads. It has caused me no end of frustration.

Click on the link given earlier - its in blue - and it will take you to your Roach thread from Jan 2014.
As Margee has pointed out, page 4 has some Tully details.

I've nudged that thread up - on Find Ancestors

I posted this on the original thread, but not sure which one Richard is currently looking at :-S

You could see if the baptism register was more informative than the brief transcript I already posted, see again below.. The baptism may well be in the collection at the British Library, full details not transcribed on line as baptism less than 100 yrs ago:

If you can't get to the British Library, they do a search for a fee, and can provide a certicfied copy of the baptism for £18.

"We offer a remote ecclesiastical search service for enquirers who are unable to visit our reading room. The Ecclesiastical Returns (copy registers of births/baptisms, marriages and burials of European and Eurasian Christians in India, Burma and territories controlled from India) held in this collection are not complete. We estimate that 20-30% of the returns are missing. Therefore with any search conducted there is the possibility of failure. Certified copies, i.e.. an official copy with the seal of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, can also be provided. The fees for Ecclesiastical Searches and Certificates are as follows:
£36 per search for enquirers of EU countries (includes VAT)
£30 per search for enquirers of non-EU countries
£18 per certified copy"

I think the info from the baptism transcript can be reformatted as N/2/135/98

as required by the application form for just the certificate, saving the cost of the search.:

but it might be useful to ring the number on the form: 0207 412 7642, to check, and ask any other questions you may have. You might also find they will take your order over the phone at that number.

I can't remember if you got Edward's marriage cert or not. That would presumably have the name of his father.
