COURT, Henry

COURT, Henry. 1??? — 1???. British Colonial Officer in India. Major. There were at least three Major Henry Courts, father (1783–1874), son (Ripley, Surrey 18.5.1822 – Eton, Berkshire 30.5.1891, in 1861 Commissioner in Meerut) and grandson (Dinapore 10.5.1843 – Croydon, Surrey 1892). The eldest is certainly not possible, but I cannot decide between the two. The worldcat.org suggests the youngest.
