One of the posts has my old email address on. The one I'm messaging on now is my current one. So I'm not sure whether I've got any messages. As there's this email and My old one. My grandad was William George smith, born in 1933 in Meerut, India. His dad was also William smith and his mum was Agnes Angelina smith and they were born about 1904 and 1905 respectively.. I think. I managed to find their passenger lists for the boat they came to England on. I think it was just after partition. My grandad William, married my English grandma Annice Smith Nee Higgins in Bradford in 1952. I remember being told my grandad worked on the railways at some point, then my grand parents, my dad David, uncles William and George and aunties Margaret and Rosina, moved to camborne in Cornwall whilst my grandad worked in the tin mines down there. When I first posted, I hadn't really heard about the Anglo Indian community, but have since learnt a LOT! I'm PROUD to have Anglo Indian/Indian blood in me. Although, I was surprised as to how our community came about and the fact British soldiers got paid for each child they had with Indian women. I'd love to be able to find ANY potential relatives, either in the UK or India... I know we have Blake's in our family from Meerut, and possibly some Greenwood and Massey/massy. Most of which come from Meerut. Thanks for reading this and await a possible reply. Chris smith
