I don't know if this child is part of the same family or not. Not in Madras, so maybe not:

As Benniah Wolfe Gaspar died in North Walsham, I assume this is Florence's death:

Also on same page is a Robert Gasper ( perhaps Frederick's son??) who died on the 2nd Dec age 20 from 'pthysis' ( pulmonary tuberculosis or a similar progressive wasting disease.)

Something which I didn't notice last night was on the baptism of Antony Frederic son of Frederick and Rebecca in 1916 , it was an adult baptism, age 20 years, being baptised as a Catholic "from Protestantism".

No sign on FMP of a marriage for Benniah, but that might just be because the records don't go that far.

I don't think my grandparents were married !!!! :-( :-S

Frederick was "PW Inspector East Coast Ry-railway

Sorry yes of course lol, losing the plot ;-)

Yes, that looks like Frederick Adolphus's daughter Sarah's marriage, as stated on the Ancestry tree I mentioned above.

On the image for this marriage though it does look as though her father is given as F Gasper? though that could be an error?

I am not seeing a baptism for Sara which would have helped.

On the baptism for Georgiana 1853, John was listed as a Schoolmaster,
