May I have suggestions for tracing a GERMAN immigrant ea.1900s to India.
At onset of 1914-18 War changed name by deed poll to STANLEY.
Was married twice, had 5 sons(!) who all fled India at Partition to
PERTH (WA)
Stamping grounds appear to have been Bangalore and mainly MADRAS where
they (the Stanleys now) had a large property.
He was a Civil Engineer with India Civil Service (?).
Even humourous suggestions will be heeded.....
Many thanks,
Alec
