He gained employment on the Kolar Gold Fields as an engineer. Can anybody advise on where to start looking for employment or marriage records. The mines have changed hands many times over the past 100 years. Hopefully, Nick Thomas. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
