Hi Ann,

Thanks anyway. I often find anything to do with India confusing. But thanks anyway, will take a look at the new site later.

Thanks again, LOu

there are loads of William Baker's in India on this free site but none for the right date

Hi Ann,

That's brilliant, thanks a lot. I think the Sarah is very interesting. but don't fully understand all the jargon, can you help decipher it?

Event Type Biography - what does this mean. And the
Start date 28 Mar 1827 does this mean when she went to India? if so then sadley it's not her.
Surieties: William H Savage will this be the person paying for her surieties?

Will take a look at the site you mention.

Many many thanks for helping Ann, your a star.

Good Luck to you in your own research,
Regards, LOu

Hi Lou

You could try fibis.org - Families in British India Society. It has a few bits on arrivals and departures, so you may be lucky.

Alice

Where can I find passenger arrivals for Bombay please? I have an ancestor who went to India around 1853 and another in 1879 But I don't know where to start looking. Anyone got any ideas please?

Many thanks in advance,

Regards, Lou
