And it lists all his possessions sold at a public auction everything from 24 jackets to a silver coffee pot totalling £556.10s & 6d ( before costs and commision),

You could look here Serena, it's the National Archives and gives what records might be available there?

http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/results/r?_q=Indian+marriages

Who is arratoon. ....
Unusual name.
Ohhhh would love to look through it all.
What's the site or is that the one mentioned. Xxxx
I will take a good look through them. I find it all so interesting. But somewhat very sad too......would love to go india to trace family roots........thank u all so very much xxxx

I can't see a link between Arratoon and your family Serena, though there could still be one. The surname Gasper/Gaspar seems to appear quite a lot in India ( possibly from Armenia?) .

Find my past site is where I have a subscription now. You can see what records they have at https://www.findmypast.co.uk/ and perhaps you might decide to join at some point. Look out for when they do an offer on the price!

Oh OK . Thank u.
