He actually died in Sep 1803 according to death notices. Army obviously takes a little time to sort things out! So Charlotte must have been born sometime before 19 Aug 1803 when he wrote his will, |

Isn't it depressing that even presumably professional genealogists assume a scenario and thus never look any further for evidence of anything? OC |

OC, I always think it is better when more than one person looks at the evidence. We have seen time and time again on this forum that one person can miss something while another will find the answer.

I agree, OC. Professionals don't always look in the right place.
I suspect that people who use professional researchers then think that it's all done and dusted, whereas with my own research I don't ever stop as I have found more and more over the years. I revisit my lines regularly. |

If so, then there is this tree on Ancestry, that seems to be for her: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tr...53610813/facts She died in Brighton in 1835 at age 34. |

Here are two records that seems to suggest it was a name in the Netherlands: https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/...=successSource https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/...=successSource What is the likliehood of the East India company keeping a record of the union of Seraphina between Hunter, or Slessor or Doncler?
