 General Notes:
The addition of a file for Joseph Allen Windle is due to the ongoing search for information regarding Arthur Dyson, whose family lived in India and in England in the 1800's. Arthur later immigrated to Canada where he served in the North West Mounted Police and also served in the South African Constabulary. Arthur Dyson is believed to have died in S. Africa about 1910. jca

A search through the indexed list of marriages in India on the following web site ( http://users.rootsweb.com/~indwgw/Bengal/BM6573W.htm) turns up the following marriage record :
Index to Bengal Marriages 1865-1873
Windle Joseph A./ Walshe Anna M./ year: 1868 vol 124 , page 98
which would appear to be the marriage record for the above widow: Anna M Windle. So it is very reasonable that the Windle family knew the family of Thomas and Emily (Henty) Dyson in India and is caring for Arthur Dyson in 1881 in England.
A search for church records in India turns up the christening record of Ethel Windle, daughter of Joseph Allen Windle and Anna Mary Windle for the 17th Dec, 1878 on the transript of parish registers for the Presidency of Bengal. Which points out the mobility of these British colonists to India. Ethel is born in London, christened in Bengal India in 1878 and is back in London again in time for the 1881 census. In the meantime the husband Joseph Allen Windle dies prior to the 1881 census.
