Hello, I have been trying to find information on Victoria Maud McCaw, daughter of David McCaw of the RFA in Jhansi. I believe she married in Bengal Presidency sometime around 1910 and died some years later in childbirth. Her nickname was Queenie. I can find some of her siblings records but nothing on her.

James Edward ANTHONY married Annie Elizabeth DeSilva at Madras in 1881. There were 2 definite children of the marriage: Bridget born 1880 and James Edward born 1881. James Edward ANTHONY died and Annie married again at Madras in 1891 to William Henry GILBERT. Two definite children: Anna Maud born 1888 and Florence born 1889.

Hi Elaine As a rule and generally speaking, burials were pretty quick after death. Usually same day or the next at latest. I guess the climate, and no means of refrigerating bodies.as we can today, was the reason. I guess there were exceptions to this, but the circumstances would have been pretty "exceptional" Cheers De in Aus Searching for RAYMOND, HARDIE, BURNS, WALLIS, DAVIDSON, WHITE, ALLEN, OWEN/S, LARENGO, PATHE, SCOTT, WICKENS, MAYBERY, WILKINS. -

Good evening Listers When the three programmes on Indian Hill Railways was on BBC TV, many listers enquired, via India-L e-mail, if this was available on DVD. I have noted that on October 4th there will be a DVD released in the UK covering the three programmes "Darjeeling Himalaya / Nilgiri Hills and Kalka-Simla" railways - which is the same as the TV programme. It will be available through Amazon UK and it can be pre-ordered now. I have no connection with Amazon nor with the company producing or releasing this DVD - this communication is purely for the information of India-L e-mail recipients. It will, of course, only be sold in the UK on Region 2 format - for the moment. Regards Alan Lane

Dear Jo: Thanks for the note and for making me scratch my grey matter. !! The term *aide-de-camp* was used by the French for an assistant to a prominent person in the official hierarchy like an Army General, Governor etc. His function was multifarious. He was a secretary in that he formulated letters and sometimes wrote them too for the "big" man, arranged* for *the daily visits by the "big" man, arranged for visits* to * the "big" man and did all the little things that "he" required.He held considerable power in that without the knowledge of the "big" man he could manipulate circumstances to the advantage of another!! In general he was a factotum. An army officer was, however, never used for this purpose except when the "big" person was high up in the hierarchy or a high ranking army officer.These ADC's had a considerable amount of political power too and a nose to bypass the non-beneficial transactions for the individuals or Governments concerned. He had to be smart and acute. Now coming to the question of this James Stewart being the J S in question - you are asking me a question that I have been posing to myself on several occasions. This commonality of names really gets in the way of defining a person especially when he lived about 250 years ago!! The time period could fit in with our"man" but could he be charged with the important task of raising a new battalion *after* a dismissal.? I am not able to get a clue as to who this James Stewart was and as to what he was indicted for, to earn a dismissal. But then, the Warren Hastings' Government was notable for its dismissals and summary dealings like flogging and hangings. The case of Carnac is in point. He was a long serving army man who I am certain climbed the tree of hierarchy because of his own achievements. He was also 2nd in Council at Bombay which meant that he was number 2 in the Civil administration after the Governor !! He got dismissed for being associated with the Treaty of Wudegaon of 1770 which Hastings thought insulted the British Government!! In fact [ and I have been going through literature] it would seem that Carnac ordered a retreat and a Treaty with the Maharattas because he wanted to save the remnants of the beleaguered and tattered British army that marched from Bombay and tried to retreat. Can we have a look at an excerpt of the especially pp 75 -93 of the doc. that you have referred to. I am not able to access these. Are you able to do this?? Thank you for your sustained interest in what I should call "our" man!! I await your response. Sincerely John Dr. John A.Thomas,MD,FRCPath, FAMS

I have an ancestor who was allegedly interred in a cemetery in Shillong in 1945 Is there any way of finding if this is true ? Thanks Tony

David, Do you think when I get William Brown's will records it will give the burial information? I know that his daughter is buried in a Presbyterian Cemetery here in the US as well as her mother, Janet's, sister and quite a few other members of this family. Whether they were truly Presbyterian or not, I do not know. I hope to order this will microfilm next week. In looking at maps last evening and since he died in Sukkur, Sind, am I correct in assuming this area now belongs to Pakistan? Elaine Sharp Sacramento area, CA USA 1. The church that buried him - For this,information on the church afficliation is very crucial. - Church of England, Anglican; Methodist; Catholic; Presbytarian or any other. 2. The cemetery in which he/she was buried Most churches still have the old burial registers in good condition. You should be able to locate details of the burial from the India library. With greetings from Bangalore, INDIA David

A book has been written about this incident titled "Bombay Explosion" by John Ennis published by Cassell, London in 1959. There are a few mentions of Harold Palmer in it but only in relation to the explosion, no family background. You can contact me off-list if interested. brinds

Dear List, Has anyone visited Hunsur (near Mysore, India) and taken photographs of the European Protestant Cemetery which is located behind the 'Coffee Works' as the area is known. Would love to see some photographs. From the looks of the cemetery at present state, it looks like nobody has visited the place since 1906! The photographs I have taken out are at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=195268&id=562453058&l=29eed19053 cheers ronnie -- The BangaloreWalla, My Phone: 091 80 22240145, (+91) 9916494676, Skype: ronniebangalore My NEW Bangalore Page: http://www.bangalorewalla.com, My OLD Bangalore Page: http://www.reocities.com/ronnie.johnson
