My grandfather Thomas howard b: c1856 was a civil (railway) engineer

spending his woking life in the colonies Siongapore & or India. He had 3

sons George b:1902? Frank b:1907 Tom b:1904 and
2 daughters Rita b:1913 Irene b1920.

He retired to Tankerton Kent. I can find no trace of Thomas ( senior) birth

or death (he died of gangrene, complication of Diabetes). I was given to understand he came from A clerical family (Church)?

My grandmother Henrietta Howard Ne Foster b:1881 -1965 was the

daughter of George? Foster a seaman, (ships captain?) and Sarah? .

Henrietta was born in Canada Montreal ? again I can find no good leads to

her parentage . Or any ships' passenger lists bearing either of their names

or childrens names.

Ca anyone help?
