Hi all, This is the last one I had for John, don't know if it's still in use [email protected] Cheers, Jill

Listers might be interested in my reply to the original post on William Frith, which I've sent to the relevant Rootsweb list. 'Nicola, You can purchase your 4g-gf's will at a very nominal cost from The National Archives, London. You can pay on-line and download the document once you have paid - it takes only a couple of minutes. The will might prove interesting. Go to http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/Details?uri=D274048 Details of your 2g-gm's birth and baptism can be viewed at www.familysearch.org She is listed as Mary Dougherty, birth date 3rd January 1848, and baptised on 16th January 1848 at Colabah, Bombay.

Hello List Marilyn, I have not done research in Calcutta, but you could read the FIBIS Fibiwiki pages “ Cemeteries in Calcutta” and “Indian Libraries and Archives” From what I can gather, research at Archives is not for the faint hearted. http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Cemeteries_in_Calcutta http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Indian_Libraries_and_Archives Dr John Roberts, who was one of the co- authors of the recent book on Malabar Cemeteries has done some research on Calcutta cemeteries. It may be worthwhile contacting him. I did have his email address, but I changed computers and now seemed to have lost it. There are some 2010 emails from him in the India British Raj archive, but whether he still has the same email address, I do not know. Perhaps someone else on the India List may know. Cheers Maureen Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:20:37 +1000 From: Marilyn Long <[email protected]> Subject: [INDIA] Calcutta family history information Can anyone assist with information on resources actually in Calcutta to be able to look up information on a merchant family (Ceronio) residing in Calcutta from about 1805 - libraries, archives, etc. Also how easy is it to visit South Park Cemetery and is there assistance there to locate a grave? Are any other Calcutta cemetery records available? Thankyou, Marilyn.

The following article appeared in the West Briton newspaper, Truro, Cornwall, UK on 2 October 1857 and is forwarded from the CORNISH-GEN List. It appears to be a compilation and includes several names that may be of interest. Best wishes, Tom Thompson, St Agnes, Cornwall. ---0--- WEST BRITON AND CORNWALL ADVERTISER; FIRST REPORTS FROM INDIA RE THE UPRISING [compiled from various newspapers and private letters] . 2 October 1857 . NEWS FROM INDIA – [the first part of which was not filmed.... this is only missing part of a sentence.] . ..... the contest through the night, and up to the afternoon of August 24. Our loss was very slight - 10 killed, and 36 wounded - the men being kept well under cover. Captain FRAVERS, 32nd N.I., serving with Lokos Rifles, was killed. . On the 6th of August, the enemy's cavalry, supported by artillery, attacked the Metcalfe House picket, but not in any force. Lieutenant BROWN, 32nd N.I., attached to the Kumaon battalion, was killed; Lieut. VENIN, artillery, and Lieut. TEMPLE, Kumaon battalion, wounded. On 7th August, skirmishing, with cannonades at intervals. A powder magazine of the enemy exploded this day, with a loss, it is rumoured, of 500 lives. On the 8th of August, a battery, constructed by the mutineers to enfilade our guns, was destroyed. Skirmishing was kept up during that and the next three days. Our troops suffered very little. . On the 12th, guns established outside Cashmere gate were attacked by a force under Brigadier Showers, and, after a sharp contest, taken. They consisted of one 24 pounder howitzer; two 7 and one 6 pounder. Our loss was severe, 112 killed and wounded; amount the wounded were the following officers: Lieut. SHERAFF, 2nd Fusiliers, dangerously; Brigadier SHOWERS, Major COKE, severely; Lieut. LINDSAY, Horse Artillery; Lieut. MANSELL, Engineers; Capt. GREVILLE, 1st Fusiliers; Lieut. OWEN, 1st Fusiliers; Lieut. JONES, 70th N.I., slightly. . Brigadier-General Nicholson arrived in camp on the 8th of August in advance of his force. His troops were expected on the 16th and all would arrive by the 15th, on which date the army before Delhi would number about 11,000 men. Further reinforcements, it was computed, would early in September, increase our numbers to 15,000 men. It is generally expected that the assault on the city will take place on the 20th August. The King is reported to be sending his Zenana (his harem) to Rhotack. . General Havelock, after crossing the Ganges, defeated the enemy at Oonor on the 30th of July. On the 31st he attacked the enemy in a very strong position in the town of Busserat Gunjo, and again defeated them with great slaughter, and took all their guns. His own loss was eighty-eight killed and wounded. He then retired on the captured artillery. On the 5th of August he again advanced towards Lucknow, and gained two more victories. On the 12th he found the enemy strongly entrenched in their positions, and numbering 50,000 men. Finding it impossible to cut his way to Lucknow, in the face of such a force, General Havelock was compelled to retire towards Cawnpore and to wait for reinforcements. In the meantime, the position of the gallant garrison of Lucknow is most precarious. Major BANKS, who has acted as Commissioner since Sir H. LAWRENCE's death, has fallen, but the date of this melancholy occurrence is not stated. The facts above stated are drawn from newspapers and private letters, but they are believed to be substantially correct. No official account has yet been published. . A party of the Behrampore mutineers has besieged Arrah, and a detachment of H.M.'s 10th and 37th regiments, advancing to relieve that place, was drawn into an ambuscade and suffered very greatly. Arrah has since been relieved by a force under Major EYRE. . The 63rd Native Infantry and 11th Irregulars at Behrampore, were disarmed 1st August. . The mutineers in lower Bengal have again caused great alarm in Calcutta. The Governor-General's body-guard has been disarmed. Apprehensions are entertained of a rising at the Muharram Festival but careful precautionary measures have been adopted. The Hon. J. P. GRANT has been appointed Lieut. Governor of Allahabad, and Sir James OUTRAM to the command of the troops in the Patna and Cawnpore districts. . There has been a disturbance at Neemuch, of which particulars are not fully known. Twenty-one troopers of the 2nd Light Cavalry have deserted. . The detachment of the Joudpore Legion, 50 men, at Abooh have mutinied, and are supposed to have joined the Thakoor and Rowa, and outlawed chief, who is plundering villages and stealing cattle in the Seroi county Mhow, and the Bhopol contingent has mutinied at Sehgre. Colonel BURARD reports the whole of Western Mahwa to be in a very disturbed state, and that a large body of men are collected at Mundisore. . >From the Bombay Presidency we learn that tranquility has been preserved in >Guzerat. The mutiny in the 26th regiment at Kholapore has been suppressed; >thirty others are undergoing their trial. The headquarters of the mutineers >have been executed; regiment at Kholapore and the detachment at >Rutnagherry, have been disarmed. The detachment of European troops thrown >into Rutnagherry, Belgaum, Dasnear, and Sawunt, Whasree, have preserved >tranquility in these districts. At Belgaum three men have been executed for >treasonable practices, one of them a Sepoy in the 29th N.I. In Bombay >itself, the Mohurrum has passed off quietly. . A third telegram received a the Foreign Office, from Trieste, states that great anxiety is felt as to the fate of Lucknow, where 1000 Europeans, a large proportion of whom are women and children, are blockaded by the rebels under Nena Sahib. The 5th and 90th regiments are on their way up the river to reinforce General Havelock's division, but it is doubtful whether the garrison of Lucknow has provisions to enable it to hold out. Lord Elgin has made over the "Shannon" and the "Pearl" to the Indian government, and was about to return to China in the "Ava," chartered steamer. Captain PEEL, with 400 seamen and ten 68 pounders, left Calcutta in a steamer, towing flats, on the 28th of August for Allahabad. . FURTHER PARTICULARS . The strength of the army before Delhi on the 31st July was 6200 effectives, and 1000 sick and wounded; 340 sick and wounded were sent away on the 23rd. In actions up to the 31st, 22 officers and 206 men killed, and 72 officers and 990 men wounded. The effective force by the 20th of August will be increased by about 5000 men. It is said that the mutineers lost 1000 men in the fight of the 1st of August. The contest was more severe than any former one, the rebels being drunk and reckless. Some infernal machines were sent against the bridge at Delhi, for the destruction of which we have offered a reward of 20,000 rupees. One account was they struck an island and exploded, another that the mutineers secured them without damage. . A letter from Aboo, dated the 11th instant, mentions that the King of Delhi has offered to make terms with us, on the condition that thirty-six lacs of rupees annually instead of fifteen as heretofore, should be secured to him and his successors. This proposal was of course peremptorily declined. He was informed that nothing but unconditional surrender could be accepted. Poonah Observer Extra, August 27. . General Wilson has completely surrounded Delhi, cutting off all communication. . The "Vectis" arrived at Marseilles with the Calcutta and China mails on Tuesday. Delhi was still holding out up to the 14th of August, and the mutineers persisted in making continual sorties, but were always repulsed with loss. It is reported that the insurgents have offered a capitulation, which has been refused them. Statements, said to be authentic, though not published in any of the journals, have been received in Calcutta, to the effect that the country people are beginning to rise, and are pursuing and murdering Europeans. It is thought the revolution is becoming general. Scarcely any produce now arrives from the interior of the Bengal provinces. . The correspondent of the Daily News at Bombay, says: From the South Mahratta country I hear that the Rajah of Akulkote, a short distance from Sholepore, has raised the standard of rebellion, and has already 20,000 men at his back. If this turns out to be true, we shall have heavy work to do in that quarter, as at this point and on the line between it and Beezapore all the malcontents of the Nizam’s territory will rally. . The Poonah Observer publishes the following intelligence in an extra, dated the 17th instant: "An officer at this station has kindly furnished us with the news that two officers and two men of the 'heroic garrison' of Cawnpore have been recovered. The names of the two officers are Lieutenants THOMSON and DELAFOSSE, of the 53rd Bengal Native Infantry; the men's names are not mentioned." . .....................................................................................................

My 4th great grandfather, William was born in England and joined the army in 1796. He ended up fighting in the Burmese War and died after being thrown from his buggy.He is burried in Ghazeepore. I believe William had two children: William and Matilda. Matida married James Docherty and emigrated to New Zealand. Their daughter, Mary Elizabeth, is my great great grandmother. I believe she was born in Fort St George, Chennai (Madras), India on 03 January 1848. I would love to know who William's wife was, and when they were married........and if they had any other children. I read somewhere that Matilda was half Indian, but that is not proven.

How did they get to India? Which boat and when? Together or separately? Did they elope? Where did they meet? I need to know! We know Benjamin, born 1833, came from Islington, London and Mary Ann, born 1836, was from Tiverton, Devon. Benjamin got a job as Assistant to the Bengal Secretariat sometime during the 1850s after he arrived in India. He later became a prosperous proprietor of a 400-acre tea plantation and all his children were born in Darjeeling. We know nothing of Mary Ann, apart from living with her family in Tiverton and becoming a pupil teacher at a local infant school. The 1851 census is the last we see of her before she returns from India later on. Can anyone do a look-up for me on the relevant 1850s passenger lists to India or give me the names of sites so I can do the researching myself? Any other information will be gratefully received.

They form part of my Bocarro Tree of Bombay. Here is what I have on that family: " George Christopher Bocarro, son of Joseph Bocarro and Rose Mary Esperance, was born on May 2nd., 1902. On February 26th., 1927, in Mount Mary's Church, Bandra, George married Marjorie Pereira. George was an architect in the G.I.P. Railway. They lived in "The Anchorage" on Mount Mary's Road, in Bandra, Bombay. George, aged 67, died on July 31st., 1969 and Marjorie, aged 87, on December 28th., 1991; they are both buried in St. Andrew's churchyard, Bandra. George and Marjorie had issue: 1] Bernadette Mary Bocarro, born on September 17th., 1927. In about 1952, she married Roy Cabral. Roy and Berna migrated to England. Berna died about the 1960s, in England. They had issue: 2] Elaine Angela Bocarro, born in Bandra, on October 2nd., 1928; bp. in St. Andrew's church, Bandra, Bombay, on October 20th., 1928. On March 31st., 1953, in Kensington district, London, England, she married Elliot Jacob Fernandes and they lived in Bandra West where they had issue. Elaine died a few years ago and is buried in St. Andrew's churchyard, Bandra." I never knew about this family living in Poona. Thelma, would you kindly tell me more about their Poona years. Were they boarders or day scholars, in the Convent of Jesus and Mary, there? Best wishes. Peter Ferreira.
