  [S42] Other Researchers - Jack Hudson, via Kerry Edwards. [S7] BMD - British Library, Baptism, N2 vol 19 p316. Very clearly Bower not Bowen [S7] BMD - British Library, Burial, N2 vol 53 p30. She died aged 32 of the Effects of Childbirth. [S43] St George's Church, Hyderabad, Original Entry. I photographed the record of death but the focus was off. Managed to decipher it. [S7] BMD - British Library, Marriage, N2/19/28. Both described as Indo Britons. Henry is 'Browen' - neither Browne nor Bowen!The 'Asiatic Journal and Monthly Miscellany' however gives him as Bowen. [S7] BMD - British Library, Marriage, N2 vol 44 p284 c/7/10. He was 20 (very young for India) assistant Clerk Telegraph Department, she was 23. His father is George Cheek Combes. No father is given for her, though a witness is H Bowen, which could be her father Henry. However the entry above could be her sister, and there the father is Henry, so perhaps was only put down once for both of them as father.
