Thank you to all. Barbara father we think was in the military but we do not have any info. I was hoping her birth would give us a clue. Thank you so much for your help
Barbara.

If she married, her father’s name and occupation will be on the cert

She married Leonard A Phillips in Wandsworth in 1951.

In 1951 Leonard was living at 173(5) Queenstown Road, Battersea, which is where the 1950 travel record says Barbara was going to.

So then her middle initial is D.

"About British India Office births & baptisms ecclesiastical returns
The ecclesiastical returns are contemporary copies of registers of baptisms, marriages and burials sent to London for the information of the East India Company and the India Office. The practice was begun by the chaplains of the East India Company's principal settlements and became a regular feature of the British administration in India.

The records relate almost entirely to European and Eurasian Christians; few local converts are included. It is thought that approximately seventy-five per cent of the information recorded in India was sent to London.

The ecclesiastical returns include people from all walks of life: civil servants, army and navy personnel, medical officers, scientists, business people, traders, travellers, missionaries.

Births after 1915

In compliance with data protection laws fewer details and no images are available for births dating to after 1915. Full details are available to researchers who visit the British Library in person."
