Wills in Bengal, India: From Andrew Sellon: Was greatly encouraged to see a post on the India List involving 'my'lot; at least it proves that I did not imagine them. From: "nickbalmer" I quite by chance stumbled on in the online Index Thomas Lumsden Strange's manuscript family history written in the late 1870's or 1880's OIOC Mss Eur D358. In it I have found an account of a duel fought between my 5x great uncle Thomas Hervey Baber and a man called Billy Fortune. Billy was an officer in the Native Infantry. Strange went to Tellicherry in about 1833, and was told the tale about Thomas Baber's duel by Thomas Gahagan. Sadly there is no stated location cause or date for the duel. For obvious reasons, I would lke to try to narrow this down. Nick - Andrew replied: Read your post mentioning Thomas Lumsden Strange with the greatest of interest, as I am related to the Streanges via the Dundas family, and my sister married a Lumsden, also cousins of the same Stranges. Hope to be visiting Scotland later this year and staying with my bro. in law Lumsden, who says the eldest Strange of this branch lives but twenty mins. drive from him! He has suggested we meet up.

Nick said: Hello Andrew, You should most definitey read the account. I looked at the bits relating to Tellicherry. The whle document could be 400+ pages, and I have only read very quickly perhaps 30 or so. There is no index, so I had to search about. I did see references to a family history going back to 1540ish. They had a castle with a name beginning with B. Sorry, I didn't write it down. Thomas Lumsden Strange's writing style is very good, and he has absolutely masses of funny stories. He was born in Indai, if I recall it correctly. His father was the Senior Judge in Madras, sat on the trial of the three individuals who challenged Thomas Baber to a duel in 1812. Strange was sent to England and then went Westminster School. There is lots on that which I haven't read properly. He apparently travelled overland via Persia at one stage.
