That’s brilliant Follers! Thank-you. :)
Also would you be able to add Joanna Lumley on here. She’s a British national treasure & former bond girl & most famous as ‘Patsy’ in the British TV show ‘Absolutely Fabulous’. I have her book called ‘Joanna Lumley Absolutely’ & it has a bit of information about her family in the book. Her family on both sides lived in India for several generations, but they were mainly of English descent. She says in the book about her mother’s side of the family & I quote;
‘My mother’s mother Thyra was Danish but had been born in New Zealand, where her father Christian Sommers had set up his life in the 19th Century. She met Leslie Weir (Joanna’s grandfather) while she was in Burma; my great uncle Bart, her brother, was building a hospital there, & because he was a bachelor at the time Thyra went with him to run his household. My grandparents’ wedding was quite small and without the usual complement of family guests & close friends, as Burma was a long way from India & New Zealand.’
Her father James Rutherford Lumley was born in Lahore, but he was sent to boarding school in England. Joanna’s grandfather Charles Chester Lumley was the son of a clergyman named William Faithfull Lumley a chaplain of Chelmsford Prison.
You can check these out if you like, but I assure you I’ve got all the above information from her biography. If I find anymore out I will let you know.
Thank-you Follers. :)
Done.
