Welcome to the boards, William.

Have you any idea of the age of your father when he was in India - did anyone say anything to you about him as to age, area of country, regiment, anything?

Thank-you

Added:
Are you saying that your mother was original Phyllis Baines but married (in India?) and became Phyllis Pinder?

Added:
You have Phyllis Anne Baines, 1920, unknown birth place, in your tree, so what is the Pinder connection?
Thanks

This is your mothers marriage and can see your birth is in the name of William Henry Baines Pinder and William Henry Pinder,.....it also says fathers name Pinder so doubt whether Henry reynolds would be mentioned on it.....I take it your mother was not with her husband?
