"It starts from Kallu Singh his son Nainsukh, his sons Hemraj Singh (Michael), Gulab Singh (Sharpe) and Riasal Singh ( Stone). Hemraj Singh had 3 sons Eric, Henry and Victor Michael. Gulab Singh's childrens are Earnest, Augustus, Edwin and their sisters, Edith and Tina ( sharpes). Risal Singh children are George, Clement, Douglas and their sister Moon (Stone). Please correct me if I am wrong. Earnest Sharpe children are Patrick, Oscar, Perry,Jerry, Babbu, Tunnu and Guddu (Sushil) and sisters Gladys and Vidoshi Rani.

We will discuss at large about Cutting, Comfort, Budden and Spencers in the coming chapters, but for the time being we will focus our attention on Nain Singh. Again not much is known about Nain Singh. Once again we wish to appeal that if any one has any information, document or photograph, please forward us a scan copy, and it will be our pleasure to publish it in this blog with due attribution.

Nain Singh had three sons :

Hemraj who adopted the surname Michael

Gulab Singh who adopted the surname Sharpe

Riasal Singh who adopted the surname Stone

In the coming chapters we will disscuss about these brothers and their families in details.

EARLY ANCESTORS

The history of the family dates back to the year 1871, the document that supports this is a handwritten Baptism Certificate, According to this Baptism Certificate an Indian by the name of Kallu Singh, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, accepted Jesus Christ as his personal saviour. Initially he was from a Hindu background. The said Baptism Certificate is in possession of Vijay Michael (U.S.A.). We are not aware of his date of birth or the day he passed away, where he is buried., etc., any additional information, photograph is most welcome.
