The RHINES of INDIA
*******************
I am trying to trace my ancestors and create our family tree. To begin with, the focal point being JOHN HENRY RHINE - my grandfather. Whatever information I have gathered so far is given below.
GEORGE RHINE – my great grandfather is supposed to have come to India from the U.K in the mid 1880’s. His occupation was Train Driver on the railways. He was married to one EMILIA and had the following children.
1. JOHN HENRY RHINE, born 1863, my grandfather.
2. LATETIA RHINE, born 1864, married William Josephs in 1882 at Howrah (Calcutta). They had three children, Dudley, Ruby and William. Ruby married one Ted Bellety.
3. BEATRIX RHINE, born 1874 in Calcutta,
4. WILLIAM RHINE who married Constance. They had three children – GEORGE RHINE, born 1902, MURIEL RHINE, born 1903 and GLADYS RHINE, born 1904.
JOHN HENRY RHINE – my grandfather used to mention his birthplace as Santa Cruz. Could it be the Santa Cruz of Bombay? He died on 1Jan 1930 and is buried at Saharanpur, India, where he had settled down and built his own bungalow “IVY VILLA”. He was an Ordinary Seaman between 1881 and 1884 and then Fireman and Train Driver from 1885 on the railways. He appears to have been in London from 3 Dec 1883 to 29 Sep 1884. A Mr. Falloon was the Train Guard on his train.
