In Reply to: Viccajee family of Bombay and Hyderabad by Mitchell Owens of 3617

Information clarified via an 1875 request for judicial separation filed by Goolbaee Rustomjee Viccajee, so perhaps more helpful.

Rustomjee Viccajee (born circa 1822) married, as his first wife, Goolbaee (surname unknown), in Tarapur, India, in 1833 or 1843. They had three children, two sons and one daughter, names unknown.

He abandoned Goolbaee in February 1851 and moved to England, where he married Clara Galloway in Marylebone in January or March 1853. She was a daughter of Catherine Galloway and her husband, a British Army officer. Clara and Rustomjee apparently had four children: Yazdair born in St John's Wood, London, the others (Rustomjee, Feroze, and Merjee) born in India, likely Hyderabad, in the Deccan.

After Clara Viccajee's death in 1862, Rustomjee married, in Neufchatel, Switzerland, 1864, her sister, Anne/Ann/Annie Sophia Galloway (born circa 1841).

Rustomjee's son Rustom (circa 1857 - circa 1934) was married, in 1889, to Jessie Julia Watts, and their daughter was painter Dorothy Elaine Vicaji (1890-1945).
