Hi Mary,
Thank you for that. I have indeed joined Fibus but only within the last couple of days and as yet have had no joy. I shall do as you suggested re the birth cert.
Thank you,
Lester

This looks like Reginald's birth:

Births Jun 1895 (>99%)
Rabjohns Reginald Frank Newton A. 5b 104

You can obtain his birth certificate from the GRO (£7 if you order it online and quote that reference no.), which will give his parents' names and his place of birth.

You might start by looking on the Fibis site (Families in British India):

If you think Enid or Reginald was born in England you could check the 1901 census to find their parents (Ancestry has a free 3-day offer on at the moment).

Facing a brick wall with my Grandmother. Enid marjorie Walker dob 28/08/1899 place unknown? married Reginald frank Rabjohns dob 10/04/1895 married 01/01/1921 in Quetta India. I have the marriage cert which has details of Grandmother father Rueban Walker who was allegidly high up in the postal service in India.
