He left India for Australia and was there around 1955. Depending of what sort of engineer the major employer of engineers at time was the Snowy Mountain Authority in southern NSW >We believe his father also went to Australia. He was already divorced > from his wife Mabel Manners. He must have been born between 1870 and 1883 in > India. His wife Mabel was born in 1884. None of this helps much and you dont name him . . . Amongst other things he was the nephew of > Cosmo Lang, the Archibishop of Canterbury. Thats pretty irrelevant too :-) On the scale of things not that many ships would have sailed from India to Australia as would have from UK and Europe. Are there departure records from India ?

Hello! I am trying to find Rodney Lang and his father. They were English born in India, Calcutta most probably. Rodney is my husband's uncle, he was an engineer, born around 1910. He left India for Australia and was there around 1955. We believe his father also went to Australia. He was already divorced from his wife Mabel Manners. He must have been born between 1870 and 1883 in India. His wife Mabel was born in 1884. We don't know if he remarried. In India he was in charge of the Tarai forests, a major natural sanctuary in the foothills of the Himalays. Amongst other things he was the nephew of Cosmo Lang, the Archibishop of Canterbury. Any help and information would be highly appreciated. Best regards, Steffi Etherington Any information would be highly appreciated.
