Hi Fellow Hunters.
Does anyone have access to Military record for India.
Gilbert N. Spankie was born in India in c1859.
On 1881 census he was in England age 22 a Lieutenant in Royal Rifles, and was single.
He married Catherine ? McAndrew c1884, some of his children were born in India and some in Inverness.
1901 census, he was not with the family who were living in Bedford.
Thank you.
Regards,
Ann

Hi Shirley,
Yes this is the only record I can find.
I feel he must be from an army family to have been born in India.
Ann.

Have you tried FIBIS? Free searches.

http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_detail.php?id=877420 mentions a Spankie born in India in 1858.

Hi Shirley & Alan,
Something fishy going on here,
Can't find his Indian born children either.
Think I will try some lateral thinking and try you all again at a later date.
Thank you,
Ann.

Also four siblings with father Robert Spankie of the civil service. Unfortunately no christian names in the Bombay Herald.

Hi Alan,
Never thought of the civil service, you automatically think of the army.
Can you give me the date from the Bombay Herald entry.
Would the Robert that you found be the possible father of Gilbert.
Regards,
Ann.
