Yes, you are correct, he did leave India on his own. His wife Mary Elizabeth Quinn DARE did not leave India until a couple of years later and she went to England. After that, it seems they never saw each other again. So I am not sure if there was ever a divorce; of if in fact he waited until after 7 years before remarrying; or indeed he may have just lived with his new spouse MARY LAWSON. But his death notice mentioned a spouse called Mary Lawson?

No matter what the results, thanks in advance for your help
