Searching for birth of Cyril Reel

[Merry]

Children born in Bombay to this couple are

Aug 1890 Henry Arthur Basil Reel

Nov 1891 Irene Amy Margaret Louise Reel

Mar 1902 Algernon Cyrus Reel

I've only searched surname Reel at the moment, but that's a big gap so with try other surname spellings.....

Hi i found the marriage , of Doris , but now i think the 1939 census isn't the same cyril as the one in Tanzania . On the tree it doesn't have any evidence of Cyril 's birth , only in mention in letters of family were it mentions his brother being Basil Reel . which could be true as he did his hunting in Tanzania . so we have no concrete evidence that they are the same cyril ? let me know your thoughts on this ? I may be completely wrong .Lol

Sorry I posted that and only just saw your posts . so i agree the census cyril isnt the one in Tanzania .

I can't find any more children for Arthur and Millicent, but perhaps they moved somewhere else before returning to Bombay and that other place isn't covered by FMP?

Just wanted to add that Algernon Cyrus Reel can't be Cyril, because he died in 1903.

A free search on the British Newspaper Archive for Cyril Reel brings up some mentions in theatrical notices in Scotland from 1921 and 1922. Searching Scotland's People for the name comes up with nothing. No idea whether it is your Cyril or not, but because it comes up a few times in the newspaper search I don't think it is one of their typical mistranscriptions. Of course it could be a stage name.

When Irene Amy Margaret Louise Reel married in London in 1929 her occupation on the cert is Actress! She says her father is Arthur Henry not Arthur George Watkins, but all the other details fit, so it probably is her.
