Find Ancestors

Thanks everyone for the information. Can i ask you all to give it a rest for a while as i have already placed a tick in the box.
I now have a lot of typing to do with my two finger typing. I never did manage to use all my fingers even when i was typing up reports whilst in the Royal Navy.
Best regards all.

You could see if the baptism register was more informative than the brief transcript I already posted. The baptism may well be in the collection at the British Library, full details not transcribed on line as baptism less than 100 yrs ago:

Last name Tully
Baptism year 1924
Birth year 1924

Presidency Madras
Mother's first name(s) -
Mother's last name -
Father's first name(s) -
Father's last name Tully
Baptism date 1924
Birth date 1924

If you can't get to the British Library, they do a search for a fee, and can provide a certified copy of the baptism for £18.

"We offer a remote ecclesiastical search service for enquirers who are unable to visit our reading room. The Ecclesiastical Returns (copy registers of births/baptisms, marriages and burials of European and Eurasian Christians in India, Burma and territories controlled from India) held in this collection are not complete. We estimate that 20-30% of the returns are missing. Therefore with any search conducted there is the possibility of failure. Certified copies, i.e.. an official copy with the seal of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, can also be provided. The fees for Ecclesiastical Searches and Certificates are as follows:
£36 per search for enquirers of EU countries (includes VAT)
£30 per search for enquirers of non-EU countries
£18 per certified copy"

I think the info from the baptism transcript can be reformatted as N/2/135/98
as required by the application form, saving the cost of the search.:

but it might be useful to ring the number on the form: 0207 412 7642, to check, and ask any other questions you might have.You might also find they will take your order over the phone at that number.

I can't remember if you got Edward's marriage cert or not. That would presumably have the name of his father.
