Notes from book, "White Mughals", by William Dalrymple:
In 1841 Catherine wrote a letter to her grandmother, in which she says she had married Captain James Winsloe Phillipps of the 7th Hussars, a nephew of Sir John Kennaway, who is of her own age. She had given birth to seven children, but one boy and two girls had already died. Her eldest living daughter was 11; she had a boy of 8 1/2; another girl of 7 1/2; and a darling infant of 19 months. She was living in a nice pretty house in the midst of a garden on the sea coast.

Maj. James Achilles Kirkpatrick
James was a Colonel in the British army, and ambassador for the East India Company to the court of Nizam, India. Whilst there, he fell in love with 14 year old Begum Khair-un-Nissa, a great niece of the Prime Minister of Hyderabad.
Khair un-Nissa (Most Excellent Among Women) was a Sayyed of Persian descent, a Shia of Hyderabad’s aristocracy. Although already engaged to a cousin, she had noticed James at dance parties and fell in love with the handsome Scot, despite the fact that he was over twice her age.
James, often visited these traditional "nautch" dances and spoke perfect Hindustani and Persian. At home, he wore Mughal-style dresses, smoked a hookah and chewed betelnut.
While visiting the British Residency, with her Mother, Khair un-Nissa arranged to meet with James and pleaded with him to marry her or she would kill herself. An affair began and she soon became pregnant, causing a huge scandal. James agreed to marry her and converted to Islam.
Lord Wellesley, Governor-General of Calcutta and brother of the Duke of Wellington, did not approve of James' behaviour, and after a severe reprimand, James was dismissed to Calcutta. He sent the children to be educated in England and moved to Calcutta, where he died a few years later, aged 41.
His 19 year old widow was escorted to her husband's grave by Henry Russel, James' replacement in Hyderabad. The two soon became lovers, but Khair-un-Nissa was now refused return to Hyderabad. Russell returned and the brief romance was over.
Khair-un-Nissa was later allowed to return to Hyderabad, where she died in September 1813, aged 27.
The full story is covered by the author William Dalrymple in his book "White Mughals: Love & Betrayal in Eighteenth Century India".
