*A researcher has advised:
The book "The Recollections of a Tea Planter" - by W.M.Fraser [published 1935, 1937, available at the [[British Library]]] has many names of tea planters in Assam (Cachar District), and Bengal (Dooars & Darjeeling Districts) Fraser starts at 1895 and goes on to 1907.
Most tea planters travelled out to India by either P&O or British India ships initially, although there were other lines that many tea planters used, such as Anchor Line and Messagerie Maritime. The usual route were either to Bombay (P&O) and across India by train to Howrah Station, Calutta, or direct liner (B.I.) to Calcutta (via Colombo).
