Thank you again to all who helped with the above. I can confirm that the person that Rose found and sent is the correct one. I have now found a person who has a tree with some of the details I need on it.

I can maylon, but I was trying to find sites that might have the details on line.

The people he is looking for are Benedict Patrick Bulley born around 1930 ish On my nephews wife's birth cert it says he was born in Chandanagora can not be sure of the spelling as it is written and not printed. It also says that his father was born in India.
The wife of Ben was born in India about the same time. Her name is Marjorie Florence Smith.
I have found a Marjory (note the spellng) Florence Smith born in 1932 Calcutta St Thomas. That looks like it could be correct Her father was born in Lee-on Solent Hampshire.
I can not find any Benedict Bulley.

Am I right in thinking that trying to trace any Indian Relatives would be difficult?
My nephew is married to a Indian girl that had a Indian father and a English mother.

I have checked and there does not seem to be many sites that have Indian Ancestry. Also the population is large 1.366 Billion so I am sure that they have not been transcribed as yet.

If any one has any info that would help please.
