    Smile BLAIR George Alexander & BONNERJEE Nalini Hel

    I have made a little progress on my Great Uncle & Auntie. George b 15 May 1865 in Glasgow, Scotland and Nalini b abt 1871 in India. He was a school teacher, who went to Oxford and graduated as a Barrister. She studied medcine and practised as a GP. and surgeon. They married in London in 1899. It appears they probably only had the one child - Alexander John Blair - born at some time after 1900.
    George A Blair was a Lt. Colonel in the 10th Scottish Liverpool Regiment and served in WWI until shipped home with a medical problem.
    George had 3 brothers. William emigrated to New Zealand and was my Grandfather. Andrew emigrated to New York USA. Alexander emigrated to Toronto Canada. It appears from various references that Alexander probably kept in touch as he listed George as his next of kin on some documents even though their mother was still alive.

    I am trying to track descendants of George/Nalini. Was there any other children? What happened to Alexander John? Was there any further generations and if so where are they today?

    As always any help will be appreciated. I have a great deal of information about the New Zealand connections, and a little about the USA. & Canada bothers which I am happy to share with anyone interested.
    Merry Christmas.Wallace Blair (NZ)

    Default Bonnerjee Family Ancestry

    I was wondering if I might get some help with searching for my ancestors. My grandfather was the paternal grandson of Womesh Chandra Bonnerjee who was married to Hemangini Motilal in 1859. I have read various posts that relate the some of the family members but I still have missing relations. My great grandfather was called Kamal Krishna Shelley but I would love to know if there were other siblings etc. Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    Yes your family has a wide number of relations. I have quite an extensive amount of data about K.K.S. Bonnerjee's siblings. One of course was my Grand Auntie.

    I also have a little information about the parents. My e-mail is
    whblair AT hotmail DOT com

    Maybe you will contact me direct and I will send you the information I have.
    Regards Wallace.
