Henry C Woods 1799-1848: Donegal to India
Henry Christopher Woods of Mountsteven, Queens County, Donegal (1799-1848) arrived in India 1818 and there c.1832 married Ellen McGrath, probably Helena (c.1815-1881).Descendant families include:- Woods, Stowell, Ogden, Volkers, Murray, Allies, Schoneman,Long, Philipps (all initially in India then spread around the world).
The above Henry Christopher Woods children were:-
Caroline Amelia 1832-1914, Helen Maud 1838-1898, Emma Gertrude 1839-1868/9, Henry Christopher 1842-1895/8, Louise Agnes 1945- ?
I am a descendant and have information and many photos of the above family groups in India; though sadly I have found few contacts with the scattered descendants of this British Raj cluster.
I am happy to provide information and I am keen to trace descendants.John Macrae
