Rev. James Henry Tomlinson BLUNT, was Senior Government Chaplain, Bombay Presidency. He married Fanny Elizabeth Giraud (b. 17 March 1840) in Faversham, Kent in 1864, shortly before traveling to India. In addition to several children, who died in infancy, they had:

  1. Arthur Henry Giraud BLUNT, b. India 11 Feb 1868

  2. Frederick Giraud BLUNT, b India 5 October 1872

  3. Charles Francis BLUNT, b. Brighton 15 Nov 1878 and

  4. Edgar St. John BLUNT, b. Cleveden 3 April 1881

I'm interested in any further information concerning the two children born in India. I've previously made contact with Miss Edith Blunt, Bexhill, descended from Rev J.H.T. Blunt and Edgar St. John Blunt.

In 1864 Rev. Blunt was in Bombay Presidency, stationed at Kurrachee (now Karachi, Pakistan) at a salary of 500 Rupees per year. The 1881 census shows that Frederick G. Blunt was born in Karachi.

I have also found on the Internet that an ancestor or relative of QUIN-CONROY also mentioned on this list was married by the Rev. Blunt., I believe in Hyderabad. Barry
