If he was still a serving soldier when the return to the UK happened, his passage would have been arranged by the military authorities, and the family would almost certainly have been repatriated at the same time. |

It might also depend on when he retired. My great Uncle went to India with the Argyll and Sutherlands. When they returned to Britain on the eve of WW1, he stayed, and married. He became the Chief of Police for West Bengal. So when I find him and his wife travelling back they did indeed go commercial line. |

FairlyFatFairy - whilst you do provide links to your previous postings on the same subjects it would help everyone all round if you just added your request to the original post (we would then have all the information in one place). |

The Muster Rolls for his regiment (at the National Archives) would give an idea of when he went back to England although the ship wouldn't be named |

why on earth has someone reported my posting? All I said was that I would have thought they came back the same way they went out, by a British ship - what's wrong with that? |

Ann - She didn't travel out-she was born there -as were her children. (I have now found that info) |

Unfortunately the UK incoming passenger lists don't start until 1878. |

I would have thought they would come back the way they travelled out to India - on a British ship |

If a soldier retired from service in 1873 (ish) in India and retured to Britain with a wife and two small children- how would he travel back? |
