Edits (from image of above Marriage (Find My Past) William a Lieut. in the 15th Regiment of Madras Native infantry)

No that is not his marriage.
It was at Magwan by Pydar 2 May 1782 to Catherine Harris.
The 1841 link is Sabby (Sally) Tippet in Kea Cornwall. With her is a child Catherine Basset age '15'.
I think Catherine is the niece of Sally/Sarah Basset (on marriage record)
Name seems to be Bosisto originally, all baptisms at Helston, Cornwall.
William maybe Sarah's brother, date of his death would help explain Catherine in 1841 census.
Complicated I know after 10 years trying!!!

Edits (are you meaning Death of her Father, from a 'green leaf' hint on Ancestry, if so, take caution!)

That would fit with her age but not seen the Susan.
Green leaves on ancestry are like tea leaves - interpretation is varied!
The one does have all three names William wife Catherine and child Catherine. That's why date would help me with family links to my ggg.
Thanks
Anita

That is Sarah Basset's marriage.
She was a 'right one'. Gave birth to first child in Launceston jail!

he was described as a Lieutenant Col and died of congestion of the lungs.

Edit: There isn't a place of death. The record is just a letter from a surgeon stating he had attened LT Col William Bisset and his cause of death; the letter has the address The Grange, Guernsey.

EDIT: I guess this one is born to late to be your man! Only just re-read thread and saw the date of his marriage.

That looks like the one that Married 1837, as posted earlier above...

Anita you say "that is his marriage" but the marriage in Mawgan in Pydar is not to Catherine Harris it is to Elizabeth Strongman

Jude

Waiting to find out when Death of William was in India, am taking it as seen on a 'Tree hint' of somebody, Ancestry...

Chris :)

If Catherine Bassett is 15yrs on the 1841 census, the William who married in 1782 couldn't be her father. Guessing 'that' man would have been born about 1762 which would make him around 70 years old at the time of Catherine' birth!

Also as Jude has pointed out, the marriage that safc posted has the wrong bride (name)

Of course, I could have completely misinterpreted the entire thread!!

This is the girl on the 1841 census


Catharine Basset

Birth date 18 Jan 1827

Baptism year 1829

Baptism date 17 Apr 1829

Place St Columb

Denomination Independent

Father's first name(s) Wm (occupation Miller)

Mother's first name(s) Cathane Harris

County Cornwall

The National Archives reference TNA/RG/4/437

Description CORNWALL: St Columb, Bethesda Chapel (Independent): Births & Baptisms
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John BASSETT

Birth year 1835

Baptism date 21 Oct 1835

Parish St Columb Major - Bethesda Chapel - Independent

Father's last name William BASSETT

Mother's first name(s) Catherine Harris

Place ST COLUMB MAJOR - BETHESDA CHAPEL - INDEPENDENT

This needs unpicking. The last baptism is the correct one. William who married Elizabeth Strongman was the father of Catherine's father.
Could there be two India deaths as the ancestry hint (yes, I know, don't trust them, check them) names wife and daughter as Catherine.

So you're looking for death of this William ?(sorry but the thread's a little confusing)

Name: William Strongman Bosisto
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 26 Dec 1790
Baptism Place: Helston,Cornwall,England
Father: William Bosisto
Mother: Elizabeth
FHL Film Number: 916939

EDIT: Maybe not- looks like this William had a child with Jane:

Name: Wm Strongman Bosisto
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 15 Nov 1812
Baptism Place: Helston,Cornwall,England
Father: William Bosisto
Mother: Jane

Cripes, now I'm confused. It might be an idea to post what you know for 'certain' and have 'absolute' evidence for this family.

I would assume that you have worked your way back from GRO certificates to ensure that you have the correct family/people?

I know that you understand how unreliable other peoples trees are. But REALLY, they are!
