Hi, I read your post with great interest as Bharat Chandra Ghosh was my grandfather. Donald Victor Ghosh was my father. All of Bharat's children changed their names to their mother's maiden name of Henderson, thus me being Jonathan Peter Henderson.  Bharat had four children as far as I know-Ellen Henderson(October born(?) died Calcutta in the 1980's. My father Donald was born 2nd November 1906 and passed away in Jan 1990. Eric Henderson was born 5th March (year unknown but a few years younger than my father) Eric passed away in Calcutta October 1st 1993. Kenneth Henderson was the youngest and when I met him in 1990 he was living in Bombay. I know he has since passed away and that was in the mid 1990's. You mention Iris Isobel as Chandra's daughter. I wasn't aware of her unless she is in fact Ellen as we knew her. The lady in the photo with my grandmother is in fact Ellen (according to my mother Philomena) Eric did have a twin sister who sadly died at childbirth but I have no further details of her.
I too would like to know more about Bharat Chandra Ghosh as my father and his siblings kept a silence about their early lives with their parents and indeed about their own lives. Ellen never married. Eric had three children-Michael. Elizabeth and David. (I am searching for details about my cousins) Donald-one son. Kenneth-one daughter Phyllis. Margaret Isobel i know died in Ottacamund in the 1940's. She and Bharat Chandra had been separated for quite a while before then. When he died he left his estate to his side of the family as his wife and children were estranged.
I can imagine all this info doesn't really help with your quest for more info about my grandfather but what I do know about his children I have stated. I do have a photograph of Bharat Chandra which I can scan and post if you wish and if you have found any more info about him, I would be very interested to hear more about him.
PS Just to add rather excitedly as I didn't look at the picture you posted fully as I didnt scroll to the other side-the gentleman in the picture is my father Donald and not Bharat. The Eric Herbert Henderson referred to in the post by Daisy Petal is Eric Henderson, Bharat's son. Eric worked in customs in Calcutta and his wife Katherine Norah eventually left for England just before the war taking the three children with her. Eric never saw them again.
