Charles Hay Cameron (1795–1880) was highly respected for his work on law
commissions in Ceylon and India, eventually becoming the fourth member of The
Council of India. He met Julia Pattle, who was twenty years his junior, at
Cape Town in 1836 when they were both recuperating from illnesses. The couple
married in Calcutta in 1838 and lived in India until 1848.
