Seeking Parsi roots

My name is Anita (née Shroff). I was born and raised in the UK. Unfortunately, I have lost all touch with my Parsi roots as my father died when I was a young child. Any information leading to any relatives or friends would mean a lot to me. If, therefore, anyone recognizes any details given below or comes across anything at all of interest, I would be most grateful if you could pass it on to me by e-mail at: danpat80@google mail.com My father’s full name was Sheriar Cavashaw Shroff. He was born in Bombay on August 6, 1857, died in London on September 1, 1957 and was buried in the Parsi cemetery in Brookwood, Surrey, England. His parents’ names were Cavashaw Shroff and Jaiji Khambetta. My father was brought up in Bombay and during World War II he lived with my mother Ellen Shroff at Winston House, Churchgate Reclamation, Dinshaw Vatcha Road, Bombay.
My father had a daughter, June Shroff, who was born on June 18, 1927 who also spent many years in Bombay. June is 80 years old and still alive.
