Hello
I have finally found my ancestors marriage certificate in India.
My 3rd great grandmother was Jane Pugh and on her marriage certificate is described as 'ward lower orphan school' in Alipore, Calcutta.
Is there any way to trace why she was in the school? Or who her parents were?
Also, my 3rd great grandfather was John Whiley. Other than him being in the military (I presume east India Company, but no evidence to support this) I do not know anything about him. This is now my brick wall. anyone suggest how to knock it down?
Thanks
Laura
