2. Edwin Ash Weston (1.John1) was born on 23 Nov 1887 in Kammamett, India; was christened on 9 Dec 1887 in St Thomas Mount, Secunderabad, Hyderabad, India; died on 23 Oct 1958 in 49 Rothbury Terrace Newcastle-on-Tyne, England; was buried in All Saints Cemetery, Jesmond Rd, Newcastle-on-Tyne, England. Notes:
Norman Chamarette says that Edwin was the Chief Permanent Way Inspector of the State Railways in Hyderabad. They lived at a Railway House in Darmabad. Later (I'm not sure where this information came from) Edwin's Aunt Emily got him the job in Jamshedpur, as Superintendent of the Railways for Tata Steel.
Place name Kammamett
(1) In http://dsal.uchicago.edu/maps/gazetteer/index.html there's an old map showing Khammamet (I think) west of Secunderabad in the province (?) of Warangal.
(2) In http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~poyntz/India/maps.html#area Constables 1893 area maps there's an index of place names which gives a district and town of Kamamet (in Haid.)
In current day India I can find two possibilities -
(3) Kamarhati, but that is a suburb of Calcutta in West Bengal, which seems unlikely;
(4) Kamareddi, which is maybe 70 miles North of Secunderabad.
He left India in 1947 shortly after India was granted independence, though the older children had gone to England before the war. According to Florence they went to Newcastle because Winifred's husband Edward Davis came from there, and they had no other ties in England.Edwin married Beryl Kathleen Chamarette on 23 Dec 1913 in Methodist Episcopal Church, Chaderghat, Hyderabad, India.
