@ASTENE1997 Checking quote re 3xg uncle Chas. Curling: "Through Mr. Curling, who had been long in Egypt, tutor to one of the pacha’s sons, [Charles Napier] sent for fine West India sugar-cane plants … ". I have proof of the sugar, but can you help with Pasha's son/Eng. tutor?
@ASTENE1997 Yes, thanks. Napier had a long-running war of words with Allen's paper which supported Outram's perspective on Napier's 'conquest if Sindh'. C Curling got sucked into it briefly as you found.
@ASTENE1997 Thanks very much for looking that one up. I did know of it. Charles Curling's mother Jane was my 3x great grandmother. What I 'm hoping for is signposts to where I might look for further information on C Curling's time in Egypt.
