Note however, the above websites only contain persons who travelled the entire journey to and from India via a UK port. A researcher advised: "Many people travelling from India found it faster and more convenient to travel by steamer to Marseilles and take the train direct to Calais and then by regular ferry to Dover. Entry into England by this route was not recorded. Many of my relatives did this (we know from letters) but no official records were kept. Frustrating for us later!"<ref>Stanes, Peter. <nowiki> [https://web.archive.org/web/20210501230619/https://mlarchives.rootsweb.com/listindexes/emails?listname=india&thread=785704/</nowiki>, now no longer viewable.
