If an admin could delete this thread it would be great. No sooner had I posted it than I found a very detailed answer in an archive. Sorry for the trouble!

Ship travel from England to India in the mid-1850s
- Thread starter Sapphire135

Could they have travelled by land? There is mostly land between England and India and travelling by sea means going around continents. Railways were starting to boom by the 1850s. I did a quick google search on this and found this article http://www.nytimes.com/books/first/m/marshall-east.html - it looks like the kind of info you're after, including travel times and postal times, and info about the development of railways etc.
Thanks, Neandermagnon! I did see that when I was originally researching, but it didn't have the precise info I needed. I ended up finding the answer, though, so I am all good!
