Welcome to the boards, Pamela.

Where did you find that information, please?
Do you know when they married, and what her name was?

I am trying to trace some information about William Ringrose who served in the Royal Artillery in Bangalore. He was born in c1800 in Bangalore.
He married an Indian lady and I would like to find out more about her.
