Indo-British Village Welfare Trust - Lottie Camebus
« on: Thursday 03 December 09 22:46 GMT (UK) »
My husband's had a fascinating Great Aunt ,Lottie Camebus, was very keen on Indian culture and India and used to travel there regularly. I have the records that she travelled from India by ship to the Uk in 1928, 1938, 1949 and 1958. 

I am trying to find out more about her time there. In her original will dated 1963 she mentions a Shri B D Nanda and also the Indo-British Village Welfare Trust . Has anyone heard of that organisation or has any idea where I could find out more about it or the gentleman?

I have recently I found that Mahatma Ghandi wrote to her in 1928 .

Many thanks

Bellou :) :)

I have now been told that Lottie Camebus owned property in India . Is there any way I could look that up? It would have been some time in 1930/50's

Thanks

Hi Bellou,

I've contacted a couple of friends in India with your query and hope to get some answers back soon. I'm just hoping they can help!

So far drawn a blank on all fronts Bellou! I've even put the query on my old school website over in India in the hope that someone might pick up on it. Any idea where Lottie lived in India? It might help narrow the field a little.

Tony

BTW Is that your husband's great aunt on Flickr?

Bellou,

Sorry to say that I've no further info for you! The message on my old school notice board has elicited no reponse worth mentioning. All I can say is that I'll keep monitoring the situation and if anything comes up I'll let you know.
