I am looking for links / information on my Grand Parents who moved from Karachi to Calcutta in 1936. My grand father was a band leader and violinist and performed in and around Calcutta. Their names were Walter and Winifred Argent. My grand father was born in Bangalore.They had 4 children, June, Neil, Freddy and Barry. Neil was my father and served with either the Royal Indian Navy or the British Merchant navy. Aunt June joined Tata Airways as cabin crew about mid 1940's......thanks in advance......
