London's Irish underclass was well represented in the ranks of the army, Catholic Eurasians outnumbered the Anglican. Carnatic and Tamil converts, Methodists, staked a claim to jobs reserved for Eurasians. One was Anglo-Indian if you belonged to the small community of Brit settlers in India, only. Governor Robert Grant, of Grant Medical College fame, was born in India, as was Gen. Henderson Brooks of the Indian Army. Bombay's Scottish Orphanage was established because Protestant orphans were raised Catholic by the many homes run by nuns. The "Anglo" claim raises eyebrows in North America, where divisions are sharp; you may not be anything but Irish-American or Polish-American or French-Canadian or Hispanic, if that is what you are. ps - google 'Skinners Horse.'

Mogal Bosco, I am not very sure HOW your 'wiki-quote' answers the 'AngloIndian' query asked in 1 (infra). The pre-1900 nomenclature notwithstanding, is every child born in India to English parents classified as Anglo Indian? Surnames like Catarina, Julia and Jerónimo? BTW: while I know that some Goans in British India with Portuguese surnames reportedly Anglicized their surnames ie Ferns (Fernandes), Sawyer (Soares), are you sure that ALL the Lawrences from India or British India are, in fact, Lourencos from Goa? Have a good day jc ::::::::::::.. Re: 1: how did Englebert become Anglo-Indian? Were any of his parents or their's Not British British? 2: and what, if I may ask is the origin of the surname Lawrence? Could it be Anglo-Indian?

Arnold Dorsey was born in Madras, India, as one of ten children to British Army NCO Mervyn Dorsey and his wife Olive. Dorsey's family moved to Leicester, England, when he was ten. [1] 2 - The oft quoted on Goanet, Leo Lawrence, author of Nehru seizes Goa comes to mind. He was no Anglo-Indian. For various reasons, Goans likely anglicised their (sur)names: Jose became Joseph Catarina became Catherine Jeronimo became Jerome Julia became Juliet Lourenco became Lawrence
