late to this as I am a new member but I am very interested in the British Indian Families, especially as I have tried every which way I can to get more information about my Indian Family.

My paternal Great Gran was a Crawford, born “at sea” in or around 1883 – although the only mention I have ever found of that was in the 1911 census. I have found no other records of her life apart from when she married my Great Grandfather in 1902, Robert Yates.
Her father was listed as FR Crawford…and that is as far as I have got.

My Grandfather Robert Frederick Yates and his 2 siblings Mary Dorothy and Francis Thomas Victor were born in Belgaum in 1903, 1907 and 1910.

I cannot find anything definite and there are so many Crawfords in India. It has ground my whole tree to a halt when it is barely a sapling.
I would love to find out more but the Indian mob is my “brick wall”.

So, Crawford..that is it.
