Notes
Note: 1
Douglas Mcintosh: "Went to India to build Grand Trunk Railway" except that this was in Canada?. Caught cholera and died at sea.
Death details confirmed at BL.
Sub-conductor - The lower of the two appointments within the Warrant Officer rank in the EIC/Indian Army, the higher being that of Conductor. Sub-Conductors and Conductors worked mainly in the Ordnance, Commissariat and Public Works Departments. Before 1860 Sub-Conductors were recruited from NCOs of the Town Major's List or Effective Supernumeraries; after 1860 from NCOs of the Unattached List.
Probate record via Ancestry - "of the 9th Queen's own lancers and bengal staff corps ... in London 11 September 1906 to Catherine Isabel Kennedy (wife of William Denis Kennedy) £326 5s 1d
So why leave his effects to his sister-in-law and not to his wife?

Douglas McIntosh: why leave his heavily pregnant wife behind? And why leave his estate to Catherine Kennedy and not his wife
