[TSL] Passenger listings UK to India 1895 to 1907
Ainslie Pyne <woodart@woodart.com.au> on 01/10/2010

Greetings folk,

I'm seeking help to locate passenger lists for ships bound for India 
between the above dates as my grandmother Sarah Gatley (from Stockport 
Manchester) went to India as a "Lady's Companion" and there met my 
grandfather, James Jesse Stroud, who was an NZer who enlisted in the 
British Army on arrival in England.  Family lore states he headed off to 
England to find his birth parents and to seek his fortune and find 
adventure" Being a highly skilled musician he was appointed a Staff 
Sergeant in the British Army and joined the Viceroy's Band in Simla.

Would the shipping lists also show the members of the British forces 
travelling to India?

My grandparents married in Colaba in the Wesleyan Church in May 1906 and 
the following year Jim Stroud took his young bride back to NZ.

I'm hoping to write an account of their lives and need a lot more 
information about the Indian period of their lives to round out the story.

Cheers
Ainslie.
