Long lost relatives

When my grandfather was killed on the Kyber Pass he left behind many children, about 8 or 10, all boys except one girl.  He was only 43 when he died and several years later my grandmother married a Major in the British army and had four more children.  My father and all his siblings died decades ago so imagine our surprise when told that the last of the 4 half brothers and sisters has only just died at nearly 100 and her funeral is today.  My sister is going and she will meet two of the children (our half cousins?).  I vaguely remember them as the whole family had that slightly peculiar accent that the colonials in India had.  One cousin had lost her eye and wore a glass one that stared straight ahead.  She and her sister went to the States where she married a wealthy man and had the eye replaced with one that moves and apparently doesn't look false at all. 

I have never quite discovered why I was born in Waterlooville when we didn't live anywhere near it but apparently this lady (I suppose she was a half aunt) wanted to be buried there.  Curiouser and curiouser.  I am only sorry that I can't be there if only to see what long lost relatives turn up.
