(Jenny Little: "Margaret Crofts was born in NSW, Australia 1826 - daughter of William Crofts - Convict from Kent - transported in 1798 on the ship "Barwell" ...William had 2 daughters to "Hannah" but I believe died 1835 when Margaret was 9yrs old (no info re mother Hannah). Older sister married very early & stayed NSW but my thoughts are that Margaret - probably as a child nurse - went to India to join an Uncle & familly, possibly a soldier in EIC . She married Robert Dunbar at 15yrs in Kurnaul in 1842. They are my Grt Grt Grandparents....Ancestors of my father Denis Fitzsimmons Dunbar b. 1903 Calcutta....with the hockey history in both India & Australia." )

************************

Have been researching my various paternal lines in India since 2007. He was born in Calcutta to supposedly British parents in 1903. Have traced a few English lines (4/5 Grt Grandparents) arriving India mid-late 1700s - 2 Scottish lines (3x Grt Grandparents) arriving early 1800s plus several Irish lines also present early 1800s plus various other connections. All lines had descendants still in India at time of Indian Rev. & Partition. mid 1947. Was delighted to discover one Grt Grt Grandmother was of at least half Indian Heritage. She was Hester Priscilla Walter Her parents being Hester Maria Tolly & William Walter (Eng). She married my Grt Grt Grandfather James Stuart Robertson (b.1817 Calcutta) in 1842. Some of their children married into families of mixed heritage so I have lateral connections also with Indian heritage. Many worked as Police, in Preventative Services (customs), the Railways & later as journalists & in newspaper. Also have missionary connections in the mid 1900s. I am 1st gen. Australian but grew up totally OZ - with no Indian or Polish influences in my life. Am fascinated to learn of how it was for my grt grt granma Hester Priscilla in the mid 1800s. She is reported to have been 'very dark, with long black hair, always wearing saris". Is anyone else researching that far back? Names included are Tolly, Walter, Robertson, Skinner, Solitude, Rondeau, Macdonald, Sheels, Rabbit, Madden, Bowen, Nichol, Lancaster, Mackay, Melling and Dunbar (my maiden name) -these in no particular order - & more! Had much help from Fibis & FamilySearch.org in discovering info in India. Jenny Little. Jenanloz@live.com
