My
connection to the Anstruther family is my 3x great grandmother Caroline
Louisa Anstruther who was born in 1816. Her parents were Robert Lindsay
Anstruther and Elizabeth Gardner
who married in 1814 in Cold
Brayfield in Buckinghamshire.
The Anstruther family were connected with the Indian subcontinent,
where in 1835, in Bihar - a province in the north of India bordering
Nepal - Caroline married Frederic Cardew
who worked as a civil servant in the East
India Company.
They had 9 (known) children but both parents suffered the fate of
many of the British in India: Caroline died there in 1848 and Frederic
5 years later. |
