I am reposting my interests as I have gained considerably more information since my original 2003 posting.
I am researching a line of Seths from Bengal, India, who are of Armenian origin, and whose original Armenian name was SETIAN.
Albert George Gregory SETH, b. Nagpor, Bengal, India, 1899. Married Norma WILSON.
William Osmond SETH, b. Agra, Bengal, India, 1864. Married Florence Milicent Barnes D'GRUYTHER (also spelt De Gruyther).
Gregory John SETH, b. abt. 1827. Married Ellen DOLBY.
Hovsep SETH, b. abt 1800, possibly in Madras, India.
There seem to be family links to Julfa/New Julfa, Persia, and also to the SETH families of Calcutta and Madras. It is likely that this family were merchants and had established trading routes between New Julfa, Surat, Madras and Indonesia (Singapore, Penang)
If anyone has any information, please contact me. I am facing a brick wall!
