Title: Frederick Clarence Scindia Baker
Post by: Cadoganpier on Monday 28 September 09 12:10 BST (UK)

I am trying to find info on the above ( my great great Uncle ) he was born in India on the 20th August 1894 he then seems to have come back to the UK around the turn of the century then went back to India and became a Police Superintendent. I am guessing he would have come back on or before 1947 by we have no idea?. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
