Was he already married when the children were born? He is described as being 'Colonel in Command 9 Reg M N I ' on the baptism record.

The death of this lady is in 1864.

Her husband is Col Blake 9th Reg M N I. She died of diahorrea. Perhaps he was posted to Bombay and lived with a local woman? George's baptism seems to have been delayed and happened after Harriet's death.
