This India List [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/INDIA/2012-07/1343507361 post] says "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!"
