This, and other cuttings, refer to Cape Town South Africa so I guess Ada came back to England with him
....at this popular house for another ten nights, and then go on to Kimberley, and all the principal towns up country. Miss Ada Branson takes the part of Lady Teazle. in The School for Scandal. Mr Leonard Rayne gave genial humour to his Sir Peter Teazle. Rowley

Found on Roots Web
"Does anybody know anything about R M A BRANSON a barrister in Bombay, who died some time before 1932? His wife Sarah died in 1932 in London, and was buried in Golders Green. Their daughter Ada was an actress in London, married a Harry BARLOW in 1902 as her second husband. She died in Putney in 1954, "of Churchtown, Southport, Lancs". I would be interested to know if she married again after Harry's death in 1909 in Delhi.
Harry, by the way, was an Army Officer who in 1884 joined 1st South Staffs Regt in Jani, Sudan, and fought in the Nile Campaign 1884-86: Khedive Star & Clasp. Later he was at Ramleh, Alexandria. Is any Lister familiar with the South Staffs service? Of course Sudan & Egypt are not quite India, but sometimes our India-L family spreads its interests outside the core region."
******EDIT******
So Harry died in Delhi if the above info is correct.

More from Roots Web
According to a family report, Major Harry BARLOW (who died in 1909 of cholera on the train down to Delhi from the hills) was buried in Nicholson Cemetery, Delhi, and had an MI there. (in the "St James Burial Register"). His grave was #800F in Pukka Plot 15 #25.
Would this grave still exist, or have all the graves been built over since 1909?
I wonder what the procedure would have been for the burial. I expect the authorities would not have wanted the bodies of cholera victims to be hanging around long. Unless there was a wife handy, the burials would have been pretty swift, surely. Harry's wife lived in Bombay, but would the Pukka burial and the MI indicate that she must have been waiting for him in Delhi?
