Please could someone check a 1915 list for a family moving to Maritius.?
The surname is MARSH.
We think the father may be Walter and the family includes an Emily MARSH born c. 1905

It seems strange that a family should move there in wartime, so any details to determine whether or not it's the correct family would be welcome.

Many thanks.

Thank you for your quick reply Sue.

How maddening that no first names are included, but it still looks promising.
We were told that the father went to work in the Police force there.

Thank you for your help.
