Is there anybody doing research with Atkinsons born in India, who maybe went to Australia after the British left India, or returned to England?

Hi Lindsay, my Great grandmother Mary Atkinson was born in Madras India in 1853. She married William Wren in 1879 at Canterbury Kent England.
William Wren was based in India whilst in the British Army and Mary Atkinson must have travelled back to India with him because 2 of their children including my Grandmother Beatrice Wren were born in India.
They returned to England where Beatrice married John Godfree in 1907 and migrated to Perth, Western Australia.
I'm having difficulty tracking back from Mary Atkinson.
