My father was Noel Philip Coultrup. He was born in India, He married Agnes Iris Currie and they had seven children surviving to adulthood. All were born in or near Madras or Kolar Gold Fields, India. We regarded ourselves as Anglo Indian. My father was an electrician in the gold mines and also a member of the search and rescue squad.
We moved to England in 1963. Noel died in 1987 and Agnes in 1998. To the best of my knowledge Noel's father's name was Charles. I think he had two brothers (Patrick and Roly)and one sister (Noreen). I think Charles' father was married to a Waller.
I married in 1966 to John Winkie. For seven years we lived in Hoo St Werburgh in Kent. (We had no idea that the Coultrup family had earlier connections in Kent). We emigrated to New Zealand in 1973. We had two children, Sarah and Lydia, and now have seven grandchildren.
