Hubert Man's notes on Peter Bruels Man are as follows:

Peter Bruels Man, one of his [Harry Stoe Man's] sons, entered the Madras Army & died Captain Peter Man at the age of 37. He married a Miss Walch when she was only 14 or 15. Tradition says that she was the daughter of a brother officer of Peter's he died & Peter was left as the child’s guardian. Peter came home on leave from India & married his ward & took her back to India with him. They were wrecked on Robbin Island on the way out.  Her diary of the voyage is in the family's possession. [This has not been found]

Peter died & was buried at S. Margaret Patten's July 21st 1825. A very good portrait of her, always known as Aunt Peter, is in the possession, of E. J. F. Garnet Man; her father was Major Garnet Walsh sometime of the 54th foot.

She lived to a good old age & spent the last years of her life­ at Halstead Hall Halstead Kent the home of her brother‑in-law Henry Stoe Man.

(More notes by Hubert)

'I [Hubert] searched at the India Office this week & found in the East India Registry & Directory for 1803 & 1812, Captain Peter Bruels Man joined the Madras Army, the 16th N. I. 1/11/1796, he joined the 16th N. I. 1/1/1800, was promoted Captain in the Army 24/4/1804, Captain in the Regiment 21/9/1804. He died as a Captain in the Regiment at St Thome on (obliterated) /5/1811. This disagrees with note on the opposite page [not available]. The permanent station of the 16th N. I. appears to have been Fort St. George. The 16th N. I. had two battalions.'

[N. I. - National Infantry]

There are some questions that Hubert's notes raise; for instance there is no record of a Walch in the Alphabetic List of Officers, also there are inconsistencies as to how old Catherine Walch was when she married Peter Man. If she was born in 1791 and married in 1803 she would have been 12!  Peter was buried in India (his burial record has been found) not at St Margaret's Patten, London. Catherine Walsh was born in Hampshire, not India, etc.  (David Man)
