Nilu,

I've tried every which way to find an email address for CST Mumbai without success, so I tried the Mumbai forum on TripAdvisor. One of the guys on there suggested -

Write to the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the concerned railway (Central Railway if he was working at CST) and he should be able to help you out if he wants to do so. You could always put in a request as a foreigner who cannot visit India to find out the details yourself.

I think, if you address your mail to  "Public Relations Officer, Central Railway, CST Mumbai, Mumbai, India" you should, hopefully, get some results.

Hope that helps

Tony

hi tony,

i had requested one of my colleague who was on a trip to bombay to get in touch with the railway board there . and  he contacted the public grivences officer over there but with no luck . what they require is a proof of his service in railways  ,which i dnt have and its too difficult for them to search the records,  reason being that its too old . there were two railway co  in bombay before indian independence i.e Great Indian penensular Railway & Bombay Baroda and Central Railway.
          as you said earlier i have also requested Mr Rajendra Aklekar if he could help me with my search , i found his email address on the Web as rail_india[at]yahoo.com
   i also found the marriage of my Grandfather registered in familysearch.org. please find the details below

India Marriages, 1792-1948 for Clemont Ernest Ellis
6 Jan.1934 Jacob Circle, Bombay, India
Clemont Ernest Ellis, single, age 36, son of John Ellis
Lucy D'Souza, single, age 17, daughter of Marian D'Souza

Good to see that some results are coming through. Shame about the IndianRailways side, though it still may be worth a letter to the Public Relations Office in Mumbai.
Maybe you'll have more success with Rajendra Aklekar.

Good luck with your search
