Hi Wendy John has shown you examples of the information available through the pay to view website Findmypast (FMP). Similar information is also available on Familysearch, https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FGN8-VJR. Contact your local library who may possibly have a subscription to FMP and other pay to view sites which you should be able to access. Researching ancestors who for what ever reason were on the Indian subcontinent is possible from Australia. I suggest if you have not already done so to read the guides available via fibiwiki on the FIBIS website. http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php/Main_Page You will find a very useful Beginners Guide and in the contents a section on Railways (in India). Finding out when Thomas More left Australia may be difficult, try you state archives to see what passenger lists are available. Here in Victoria the Public Record Office (PROV) has an online database which includes /Index to Outward Passengers to Interstate, UK, NZ and Foreign Ports 1852-1923/. Information on his departure might be found in the outward shipping pages of newspapers. The National Library of Australia has developed /TROVE/ http://trove.nla.gov.au/, an ever increasing database of digitised Australian newspapers. Hope this is of help.
