Hello

I too found the info on Ancestry, they declare that there usual abode is Kenya and they intend to settle in the UK

On familysearch.org record pilot you will find

Leah Mabel PRITCHARD d/o Arthur Horton PRITCHARD & his wife Wilhemina b 16/03/1877 bp 04/05/1877 Kiddepore Bengal India

I googled Franz Hermann LINDBERG and found a fellow researcher with a tree including this family but no other info than you had!

If you go to Familysearch.org select record pilot you will find the marriage of Arthur H Pritchard to Wilheminia White together with buirth info. There may be a Prtichard family unit in Bengal.
