Monwa, - ?could this be Malwa?
Manbin, ?
Jabalpur, = BENGAL, in central India to the east of Bhopal

Whitefield ?

Rajpura - could this be Rajpoor/Rajpur? It is located to the east of Baroda
and seems to fall within one of the Princely States - though not sure if
Baroda itself, or part of Scind or Malwa. On the borders of presidency of
BOMBAY.

Best thing is to get hold of an old map; even an older Atlas would do. I
tend to use a combination of a copy of a map from an 1882 encyclopaedia(no
index!); my late father's Oxford Atlas from 1958, an old Lonely Planet guide
and the map in front of Louis Rousselet's book!!! (Now you know why my work
space is always in a mess - books and papers within arm's reach)
