Charles Madden

He cannot be Charles Dodgson Madden, another surgeon in British India, who died in 1910 at age 76, therefore born 1833/4. Because he married Julia Loveday in Meerut in 1842. He is said to be a "civil surgeon". Charles Matthews (talk) 15:27, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

C. Madden who married Julia Charlotte Loveday in 1842 was civil surgeon at Meerut. This, I think, is the evangelical who married a wife in 1837 sent out by the Society for Promotion of Female Education in the East; who then died in 1838.[1] That story goes on in Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh and Kanpur. In any case all in what is now Uttar Pradesh. A promotion from "assistant civil surgeon" to "civil surgeon" in the early 1840s, it seems. Charles Matthews (talk) 16:18, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

With appointment date 1831, Charles Madden in Bengal is the surgeon to the 9th Native Infantry in 1850.[2] There is a C. Madden at Dum-Dum in 1832, acting position in 1833 at Allahabad. Charles Matthews (talk) 16:24, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

This Charles Madden is apparently the great-grandson of John Madden (priest), via the Rev. Samuel Madden 1728-1800, and Major Samuel Madden, major of Kilkenny, 1769-1822, of Kells Grange, who married Margaret Grace Gordon-Cumming. The Rev. Samuel Madden married Cassandra Travers, accounting for the unusual name. Madden had left Bengal and settled in Clifton in 1849, where a daughter was born. All this is in various typical references, mostly not RS. Charles Matthews (talk) 16:16, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
