His son-in-law informed the death and was in the register as “W A Carroll, Son in law”.
As yet, I have not located any information about the relationship of a daughter to Claud and Henrietta, nor of any other children.
Though there was an announcement in the Bath Chronicle that the wife of Claud Hamilton Brown had an unnamed daughter on 10 Sept 1863 in Calcutta.
