    Thumbs up 1891, 1901 and 1911 India Census

    Good evening

    I do hope this is were I email you for help. I do not have access to the 1891, 1901 and 1911 India Census and need your assistance please, if you could look up the India Census for the below peoples.

    Names:
    1. Ethel Victoria White. Ethel could have been born around the late 1893 or early 1894.
    2. Alexander Henry Whtie. Have no idea when he was born.
    3. Elizabeth White. Have no idea when she was born.
    Ethel Victoria White was the daughter of Alexander Henry and Elizabeth White.

    Please, I would like to know the three peoples Date of Birth. I think all three of them were born in Bangalore, India.

    Once again thank you very much for your help.

    Best Regards,

    1937

    Hi 1937 and welcome to Brit-Gen

    In order that your thread can attract the attention of those with a knowledge of Indian records I have moved your thread from Genealogy Beginners to our India Forum.

    I have looked at the overseas births on Findmypast and I've checked on Family Search for a baptism but I can find no record for an Ethel Victoria White. Can you tell us exactly what information you already have concerning her please and what evidence you have that suggests she was born in India?

    Between 1890 and 1900 I can only find 2 birth registrations for that name and these were both in 1897. One was in Surrey and the other in Buckingham.

    Default Thank you

    Thank you one and all for your response. It is appreciated greatly. The names you sent I did not have. It will be very helpful in my continue research. Thank you.

    The only information I have of Ethel is a marriage in 1915, her fathers name Alexander Henry White and mother Elizabeth/Eliza whose maiden name was Armstrong. I am 99% sure Ethel Victoria White was born in Bangalore, India.

    Now that you sent me the information as to when Henry Alexander White died, could I please ask you and sorry to bother you; would it be possible please to help find as to when Alexander Henry and Elizabeth Armstrong got married. Thank you kindly.

    Could I ask you please, in one of the replies it gives the name of Henry Alexander White and in another it says Alexander Henry White. Would this Alexander Henry/Henry Alexander White be one and the same person?

    Also noted that mother's name is given as Elizabeth and Eliza. Is the lady one and the same person? Maybe the marriage of Alexander and Elizabeth will have the right first names. Appreciate your response and thank you.

    Would just love to find the three peoples Date, Month and Year of Birth. Would you have any idea as to why Ethel’s marriage is recorded and not her birth?

    Once again thank you all. I am very grateful for your help.

    Regards,

    1937

    Thank you.

    I thought I sent this message the very next day you responded to my request, but guessing not seeing your response to this email. I am sending it again. I feel I clicked the wrong button.

    Thank you one and all for your responses. It is greatly appreciated. The names you sent I did not have. It will be very helpful in my continue research. Thank you.

    The only information I have of Ethel is her marriage in 1915, her fathers name Alexander Henry White and mother Elizabeth/Eliza whose maiden name was Armstrong. Seeing what you sent as to were Alexander and Elizabeth's other children were born in India. I am sure Ethel Victoria White was born in Bangalore, India.

    Now that you sent me the information as to when Henry Alexander White died, could I please ask you and sorry to bother you again; would it be possible again to ask your help please to as to when Alexander Henry and Elizabeth Armstrong got married. Calculating from the years of Alexander and Elizabeth’s children were born, maybe Alexander and Elizabeth got married in the late 1880’s. Thank you kindly.

    Also could I ask you please, in one of the replies it gives the name of Henry Alexander White and in another it says Alexander Henry White. Would this Alexander Henry/Henry Alexander White be one and the same person?

    Also noted that mother's name is given as Elizabeth and Eliza. Is the lady one and the same person? Maybe their marriage to each other will have the right first names. Appreciate your response and thank you.

    Would love to find the three peoples Date, Month and Year of Births.

    Once again thank you all. I am very grateful for your kindness.

    Have you tried FIBIS - Families in British India Society? Their volunteers have transcribed many BMD and news announcements and such-like for people who lived in India.
