So how do I prove that my Thomas Rawstorne/Rawstone who married in 1813 is the Thomas Rawstorne baptised above?

My Thomas' children are Eliza, William George and Sophia.

Eliza, William and Sophia are all names in the Lieut Col's family from things I saw when I googled.

My Thomas was an Indigo planter when he married and 6 years later was a Writer in the Collections Office at the joint baptism of his 3 children.

There is a William Rawstorne who is also a writer in the collections office.

There's a couple of entries on FMP re Lieut Col Lawrence Rawstorne dying intestate, Dec 1805. Also entries on FIBIS showing he was b 1750/1.

lol I think I'm ok. I'm guessing that my Thomas, if he is the son of Lawrence, was left in India if/when the family left.

That's the tricky part. Do you have an age at death of marriage for Thomas?

Just recapping as I keep misplacing notes:

Sophia Rawstorne (mother of Blanche Adelaide Hamond who married the mysterious Mr F before marrying William Earl Shadwell) was the daughter of Thomas Rawstorne and Rose Sponge - a widow. Sophia was baptised on 27 April 1817.

Rose Batavia married Peter Spunge on 14 January 1804 in Calcutta.

Rose Sponge married Thomas Rawstorne on 2 May 1813.

No age given at marriage and Thomas does not appear to die.

If the 2 Thomas's are the same person he would have been born about 1795 and was 18 at the time of marriage.

Sophia is Thomas' daughter and yes Thomas married Rose. I am working on the theory that the Batavia - Spunge marriage is correct, although Peter's death has eluded me.
