My Grandfather Arthur Henry Foley, was a tea planter in Assam in the beginning of the 19th century. He had two children from his first wife - Harry and Mary, and from his second wife George and John. They were all educated in Kalimpong, ( North Bengal). We received some information from them about his children but no further information about what happened to my Grandfather- or where he came from or eventually what became of him. I believe he was in Hazaribagh, Bihar when he passed away, possibly with a Jones family- uncertain about it! My Mother Florence Violet Foley, nee Mathews. Originally from Allahabad. What were her antecedents? The Mathew clan was a very large clan. She was born on the 02 Jan 1908.
Please send this info to Caroline Foley, Wife of Lt Gen N Foley.
