Searching for Henry Hamilton D'Souza and wife Barbara had children

Surnames: Hamilton, D'Souza, Carroll
Henry's mother's name was Elizabeth Hamilton - daughter of James Hamilton. Henry was from her second marriage to Alfred James D'Souza.

Henry also had a half brother = Arthur Carroll. Please advise how I can obtain information on searching for relatives after they returned to England approx 1949 - 1955 (post partition of India).

Many thanks,
Christine

You might want to try the D'Souza, american film producer and activist. His last movie was "America" released last year. You can search his name on Amazon and it will give a list of his books. You may want to check the records of the National Archives if you have not yet done so, plus Ellis Island, US, the point of entry to the US for many years.

Good luck!

If you look under "Incoming Passenger lists UK" you will find this family travelling under the name Hamiltom (although D'Souza is noted in brackets) on the P&O ship "Himalaya"running from Sydney to London in July 1950. They embarked in Bombay and arrived in London on 6.7.50. Henry Hamilton was 47, Barbara Gertrude35, HenryJohn 14, Peter Rodney 13, James 11 and Mary Claire Neville 10. They were heading for 73, Bentham Street, London E9. There is one oddity, there is a line through Peter Rodney's name - could he have been crossed off, left behind, mistake by the clerk? Hope this helps a bit.
