NO i WAS TRYING TO FIND A DUTCH CONNECTION IN THE GALLOWAY LINE THANKS

The Army record posted by AG shows he had previously been a boy soldier in the Royal Artillery

Essex Regt. attestation shows he han been a boy Trumpeter.
He was discharged as physically unfit on attaining the age of 18 years, for the ranks - on 15 July 1902.

Guess he got too old and bold to be classed a boy soldier!

Mother Mary was in Byculla Bombay

Albert Henry's army record is hard to read, but I think it says his mother Mary Galloway's address was 103 Brigade Road, Bangalore.
His sister Julia was in Longtown, Cumberland.
His sister Edith Fisk was at 13 Church Street, Bangalore.

I think that's dated 1904.

He was discharged on 1 Feb 1914 in Calcutta, and his intended address was in Calcutta.
He was discharged because he'd been promoted to Sergeant in the Calcutta Police Force.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

There are any number of marriages after 1895 for a Mary Galloway - apart from the Dutch sounding surname of the spouse , do you have any reason for picking that 1917 marriage out?

EDIT:If the 1876 marriage of Mary Sheehy, with father John, is the correct one, then the Van Beers marriage isn't her - father Richard Tustin - see below.




You say "another marriage the same year" - it's the same marriage, but with two different versions of the groom's name.
