Mrs Summerell - Lloyds Weekly News
I am looking for information on a Mrs Summerell who wrote articles for the Lloyds Weekly News about herexperiences in India in the mid 1800's.She along with my GGGrandmother, Maggie Leigh and her children, John and Emma, were captured by Sepoys and were being taken to the Black Hole of Calcutta,
during the Indian Mutiny,when they were rescued by an unknown Cavalry Regiment.
Maggie Leigh's husband John Leigh was killed at Betwa River on 1 April 1858.
Maggie Brown then married my GGGrandfather, Henry Speltzer Chowne who was in the same regiment as John Leigh (14th Light dragoons).Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction to find this information or does anyone have any knowledge.
Many thanks,
Maureen - Oxfordshire
