Walter Lang (son of James Matthew) - 1883 - 1910

Walter Lang was born in India to James Matthew and Mary Ellen Lang in 1883 (tbc)

Have found Passenger lists with a W Lang on the 11^th Jan 1894  SS Oriental (would have been a child) and on the 16^th October 1896 Bombay SS Caledonia

 He died 16^th August 1910 Mulatan when he died of tetanus - he had worked as a  Assistant Traffic Superintendent for the North Western Railway for 6 years and 4 months - His brother (not stated which one) and wife were executors of estate - from Death record to be added here

Apparently, he, Percy, Tom and Jim all lived on Kutchery Road in Karachi (or Bombay)

He married Mary Agnes Jeffrey-Orchard on 2^nd April 1907 in Sialkot, Pakistan – he was 24 and she was 18. **

They had a son (one of several) Clifford Walter Patrick born 2^nd July 1909 and was Christened 6^th August 1909, Karachi (Bombay Presidency)  who died on the 4^th March 1942  - he apparently was a member of the Australian Infantry AIF 2/2 Pnr Btn. Service No. VX19663 – Commonwealth War Dead in Jakarta War Cemetery

I have also found a record to say that Mary Agnes married again to a John Anderson on 9th December 1916* John Anderson was a Major in the Indian Medical Service and lived in Bombay. His father was Telfer Anderson but it does say that her father was Charles H Orchard so that ties with the other info we have.

The marriage record also says that she is a widow and is now a nursing sister so I assume that is how they met?

*Charles Orchard is named as the father
