firstly there is no ancestry records in india. secondly if there are some records kept they are at Haridwar. that also only if some one from the family went there. if you want to search by names, singh in bihar and uttar pradesh are thakur caste.  if you search it will be name as guooral singh and alternate spelling Gural singh or gooral singh. Bissessar is the correct name. most appropriate place to find is cargo manifest from Calcutta or now a days Colcatta. next place to find is from british archives from England they will have the names and addresses of the people who came to West indies. My guess is if your ancestor was a business man then he came when people were given return passage it will be late 1800 or beginning of early 1900. good luck
