Hello List Bev said: I've been advised by a fellow researcher that the book below contains a written account of my ancestors escape/actions during the Indian Mutiny. Fatehgarh and the mutiny by F. R Cosens; 1 edition; First published in 1933. Tim has a copy but if other people are interested in this book, it is available at the British Library. For other information about the Mutiny and Fatehgarh, the FIBIS Fibiwiki has the page "Occupation of Futteghur" which took place 2 January 1858 http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Occupation_of_Futteghur The FIBIS Fibiwiki page Events at Cawnpore http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Events_at_Cawnpore has a link to an online account called "The Story of My Escape from Futtehghur" by Gavin S Jones. This tok place in 1857. Cheers Maureen (Sydney)
