Hello I'd be interested to know if anyone has come across mention of a Tom G RAWSON. He is listed as travelling from London to Bombay in 1929 (per "KAISAR I HIND") and his occupation is given as "tea planter". His middle name was possibly Gerald. Any information about him, or leads as to where I could obtain information, much appreciated. Anne Napier Australia

Dear Listers, The site http://www.rajshri.com/bbc/index.asp has a video showing Attlee speaking after his visit to the subcontinent in 1956. He is giving his impressions about post-independence India, Pakistan and Burma. (You will have to suffer a short ad strip before the starts...) Arvind Kolhatkar, January 31, 2008.

Dear Listers, The site http://uncommonlives.naa.gov.au/ has some interesting stories about immigrants from the subcontinent to Australia in the early 20 century. Arvind Kolhatkar, Toronto, January 31, 2008.

Chris, The career line of Robert James Watson that you have drawn shows that he was employed in a civilian job as opposed to a military job. He does not seem to have been a member of the Indian Civil Service, a cadre of covenanted officers recruited through competition, for holding senior posts in the Indian bureaucracy of the Raj. I mention this so that you may not take a wrong turn in your research. Arvind Kolhatkar, Toronto, January 29, 2008.

Good morning, I'm researching a Robert James WATSON who was in the Indian Civil Service. Born Middelsex 1876, he served in the Boer War, and is first recorded in India in 1903, living in Calcutta in the militia, and was in the Civil Service from 1907. Below is all I have about his carrer in India and I would very much like to fill in some of the gaps but this is all I have found so far. He returned to the UK in the later '30s about which I have no further information. 1904/05 Assistant, Remington Typewriter Co. of 2 Pollock Street. {Th} 1907/12 Controller of Office Systems, Bengal Writers Building {Th} living at 7 Theatre Road, Belgaum 1908/10, then 37 Park Road, Barrackpore 1911-12 {Th} 1914/15 Inspector of Judicial offices, High Court, Calcutta {Th} 1916/20 Inspector of Judicial Offices, Imperial Commerce & Industry Buildings, 1 Council House Street {Th} 1918 living at Great Eastern Hotel, 1-3 Old Court House Street {Th} 1918 took 1 year civil/military leave in America during which time was Vice Consul in San Fransico, and applied for temporary work with the American War Dept., Washington 1920 Inspector of Judicial Offices (Bengal) 1st.

Ceri, You mentioned that Dr E.J.Lazarus was a publisher of Sanskrit texts. This attracted my attention. You have obviously consulted books.google.com, as your posting shows. I found the following further snippets about him, in case you do not already have them. <We were met at the station by two daughters of Dr. EJ Lazarus, who took us in a fine private carnage to their almost palatial home, in which missionaries of ...> >From "From the Himalayas to the Equator" by Cyrus David Foss, published 1899 <We were beautifully entertained in the home of Dr. EJ Lazarus in the Cantonments, the pleasantest part of Benares.

At the beginning of 1845, for instance, we learn from Sub-Assistant Surgeon E.J. Lazarus of Dhaka that, of the four persons who had applied for an apprenticeship, one was an elderly man who had been practising as a native Cabrauz [sic] [Kaviraj- a term used in Bengal to refer to practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine] for many years.> >From http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/hah/9.1/mukharji.html <Hilda Lazarus, born in Vizagapatnam (now in Andhra Pradesh) in 1890, was one of the most successful Indian Christian doctors.

Hi I am researching a family member, Dr E.J.Lazarus ( 1825 - ?1909) of Benares. Dr Lazarus M.D., J.P.was a well known Baptist convert and also a publisher of Sanskrit, Christian and other texts.

Dear Harshawardham, Thank you again for all your information. On the website http://www.uq.net.au/~zzhsoszy/ips/b/bashahr.html there is reference to Holly Lodge in Jakhu Road, Simla, and elsewhere when googling 'Bashahr' there is reference to Padam Castle, Jakhu Road, Simla: "Rana CHATAR SINGH, 110th Ruling Rajput of Bashahr State, brought the whole of the state under ... (Padam Castle, Jakhu Road, Simla, Himachal Pradesh, India" and so I would suggest that the building I am interested in, known as Padam Castle, is not the remakable and famous Padam Palace, but a smaller retreat built for the family in Simla itself, to be close to the then summer seat of government. Do you think this makes sense?

*** Drat it, to put it mildly. Something appears to have gone wrong with the works - what you got is the first draft of my mail. It doesn't even bear my signature-block. I know I did send the duly corrected version - so what happened to it in the cyberspace, and how the draft zoomed out, is a UFO-esque mystery.

Hallo everyone, My first visit to your fascinating forum. My late uncle served from 1917 to 1947 with the Indian Army, and in the early 1940s rented the ground floor of a house known as Padham Castle. His family lived there for a time and he recouperated there from illness encoutered during withdrawing from Burma with the 17th. I would be very interested if anyone knows anything about this property, supposedly then owned by a senior Indian, and if a photograph might be available. When recovered, he was posted to the R.I.A.S.C. school at Kakul, now in Pakistan. While I have some fine photographs of it's parade ground and of an occassion when the salue was taken by Auchinlec, I would again be interested in any information or photographs of Kakul itself. Thank you, Chris Norfolk UK
