********************************
Hi, My great Uncle, Cecil Burge, married an Ethel Irene Drummond
on 17 Apr 1922 in Simla. Ethel was born in Jhelum, Bengal, 11 April 1885 to
William Adolphus Wallis Drummond and a Catherine Camilla (Her mother's family
name I do not know). It was family rumour that Ethel was Indian and when she
and Cecil visited England her presence caused quite a stir in the village.
Being from a fairly ignorant English West Country background it is quite
possible that the family presumed she was Indian and did not explore the
possibility that Ethel's mother, Catherine Camilla, was either Indian or half
Indian and her Father a British soldier or civil servant. Cecil went on to
become the Secretary at Lawrence school, Sanawar during the 1930's. The
passenger log of the "Viceroy of India" travelling from London to Bombay in 1935
shows a Cecil Burge and an Ethel Burge, so she was still alive then but died
sometime between then and Cecil leaving India at the end of 1949. I can't find
a death certificate for her. If anyone can shed some light on any of this I'd
be very grateful, regards, James Grindon
