I have posted some information that may relate to Captain Christopher Puddicombe. My great grandmother was the oldest daughter of Christopher Puddicombe. Her name was Elizabeth and she married my great grandfather on the 18th May in Bombay in the Bycullah Church by the Rev. JD Gibson. She then travelled with him on "The Earl of Clare' and others. She had 3 children who were christened in Bombay, but at least one was born at sea, and one in Singapore. From other posts I have learnt that the Puddicombes owned 'godowns' in India. My grandfather sailed from Arabia via India to China. He took goods and opium to China.
I have some belief that Christopher Puddicombe may have lived in the docks area of London but I have no proof. Elizabeth was born in Willesden Middlesex. in 1835. I would be interested in any other information you have. My email is:
