Sub-conductor - The lower of the two appointments within the Warrant Officer rank in the EIC/Indian Army, the higher being that of Conductor. Sub-Conductors and Conductors worked mainly in the Ordnance, Commissariat and Public Works Departments. Before 1860 Sub-Conductors were recruited from NCOs of the Town Major's List or Effective Supernumeraries; after 1860 from NCOs of the Unattached List.

Probate record via Ancestry - "of the 9th Queen's own lancers and bengal staff corps ... in London 11 September 1906 to Catherine Isabel Kennedy (wife of William Denis Kennedy) £326 5s 1d

So why leave his effects to his sister-in-law and not to his wife?
