MYERS Family Trees

with links to British India

 

I am looking for Joan D'Silva from Kidderpore, Calcutta, she was married to my Mum's step brother Ronald Myers (decd) he worked in Carborundum Universal. I would like to get in touch with his wife and two daughters (one lives in Perth). My mum was Doris Wilkins married to Frank Almeida we lived in Royapuram in Chennai. Maureen Nash (on Facebook)

 

********************************

We are looking for a Mr Joseph Alexander Myers (1908 - 1975), one of 3 brothers residing in India during the late period of the British. After independence, one brother moved with his wife and family to Pakistan (wife was supposedly Muslim), another moved to Australia and Joseph stayed back in Mumbai with his (still growing) family. He had 8 children with his India native Dorothy Adelaide (1918 - 1968) and the youngest son is my father-in-law, Vincent, born 1952. According to him, his father's family were early settlers from the north (not specified) and all the three aforementioned brothers were in the British Army. There's a a little more information available, but I don't know if it's relevant to the search. I have found a record of Joseph Alexander Myers, but none of his wife or children.
