Eric Wilfred James died 1943

Dorothy
ERIC WILFRED JAMES
Born: 1902
Died at Lucknow
On March 13, 1943
Had searched high and low but
couldn't find the grave. The death
is recorded at the St Peter's Church,
Charbagh, Lucknow

(The grave could not be found)
               **
Eric married Dorothy Little, nee Beck,
the widow of Sergt Little.  
She had a son and daughter from Eric.
Subsequently, Dorothy
became a Mrs Ducasse. She died in
Australia in the 1970s

About two years back I had a request from Richard James who lives the UK, asking me to try and find his father's resting place. His request came after he found my guava gardens blog. 
 Richard who is now 80 years old said his dad, a railwayman, died quite suddenly in 1943 when he and his sister, Mary, were small. Richard was born in 1935. His sister was younger. I checked but was unable to find the email where he had given family details.
His mother had left the family so the two children were on their own in Lucknow with grand parents in Bangalore. However, arrangements were made for them to attend schools in Mussoorie. I presume it was Oak Grove, a school for railway children!
Later Richard and Mary were sent to the UK by their grandparents who lived in Bangalore

1968. Maurice James, closed 94 in August 2018  

in the UK, is the last surviving 
child of Thomas William

his maternal grandfather, Walter Beck

ELIZA VANDRINE
According to Fibis.org database
the name Vandrine or Vanderine
was  confined to Kanpur or Cawnpore and
 Benaras.  The marriage record gave no
place name. There was one

Elizabeth Dorsett who married William
Vandrine in 1860. If Eliza was short for
Elizabeth, as given here, she would
have been almost 100 years old
if she married at the age of 13 or 15.
