    3. Hello List In my recent email to the India list about recently released FIBIS records in the Percy-Smith and Bullock collection http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/INDIA/2013-07/1373373360 I noted that some of the records were from the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of Dolours, Boitakhana, Calcutta which were transcribed by "Rev H. Hosten Calcutta 1915" I have now found out there was a book published in 1915 called "The Registers & Inscriptions of the Church of Our Lady of Dolours, Baithakhana (1810-1914)" by Fr H Hosten. However the only place I have located a copy of the book is a library in Calcutta called the Goethals Indian Library. According to a previous India List post this church was located quite close to the Sealdah Station, and near the Railway Barracks where most of the Anglo Indian who were employed by the Railway lived. This information has now been added to the FIBIS Fibiwiki page Calcutta, section Churches and missions. http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Calcutta#Churches_and_missions Cheers Maureen (Sydney)
