Hi Angela.

Yes the information is from a tree on ancestry. As MC says above, try rhe Mundia site or take out a free 2 week subscription (I think they still do it) with ancestry and try and contact the tree owner.

One child is named but I can't find a birth or death for him so don't want to post his name. It is a fairly unusual name though.

The daughter is not named and is down as still living. There is no other information given on the children.

It is on Morris Family Tree and the owner has only been an ancestry member since Nov 2012.

Thank you for your help, i went on the Mundia website you mentioned and have found some info on Percy but i still haven't found out whether or not he had children and when or where he died,

Alviegal mentioned in an earlier post about 2 children mentioned for Percy and Laura. A son and a daughter on another tree, I've looked but not found anything.

I'm not brilliant with these web sites and don't even know if I'm looking in the right place.

Regards

Angela

I am trying to find out more info on the above named person.

Laura was born in Bangalore India 14/03/1906

Her parents were Henry Seth Fisher and Grace Laura Pinto (Da Silva?)

Laura married a Percival Bibb in India on 02/09/1931

Laura died in Surrey England in March 1998.

I would like to know if they had children and when they came to England and also when Percival died.

I found the information/photo about her and her death on Ancestry.co.uk, but I am unable to access it as i don't have a full membership.

If anyone has the full membership for Ancestry and is able to access this info for me i would be most grateful
