Hi Barry thanks for the posting on the cemeteries. I just noticed in my copy of OS Crofton's very same book, that at Gulbarga, Anne Rachel Maybury is not shown (perhpas my edition is a little older). Also the Mayburys were actually spelt Mayberry as they are related to me and apprear as such in the Hyderabad section of the book. Just thought I'd mention that.

This afternoon I posted to the web lists of inscriptions from cemeteries in Gulbarga, Raichur, and Bidar districts in Karnataka, which I compiled from O. S. Crofton's (1941) "List of Inscriptions on Tombs or Monuments in H.E.H. the Nizam's Dominions". Also added is a scanned copy of the 1905 "List of European Tombs in the Cemeteries Attached to the Various Churches in the Nilgiri District", which covers Ooty, Coonoor, and the Wellington Cantonment Cemetery, among others. And, finally, I added a scanned copy of the 1894 "List of European Tombs in the Kurnool District with Inscriptions Thereon" from southern Andhra Pradesh.

Good Folk, a lot of you seem to be having great success with site - I'm not! It seems the broader the search the better? can you tell me if the three search engines (Bapts, Marr, Burials) are the same or does one have to search each one for that particular record? many thanks Kind Regards Kerry

Harsh- or anyone else who may be in the North of England, there is an extraordinary collection of 19th.century photos in airconditioned vaults in the Photographic museum in Bradford.. a really amazing collection that would take a couple of days at least to look through..

In the UK Daily Telegraph today was an article about an old box hidden away in the British Embassy in Kabul It apparently contains a quantity of photographs dating from 1870 to the 1970s, but what may be of interest to a family is that some of the early pictures were taken by P V LUKE who was a Indian Telegraph Department worker who was stationed along the Khyber Pass in the second Anglo-Afghan War and who put the first line through the Pass. Later pictures were taken in the 1920s, the most recent was of diplomats inspecting a new boiler in the basement of the Embassy!!!! They are being assessed and may possibly be available next year.....we hope! Peter D Rogers, Suffolk UK

Sunday, May 23, 2010 Vintage vignettes Pran Nevile presents some rare snapshots of India from the US Library of Congress collection ** In the recent spate of publications of old photographs, we have seen pictures of a bygone era sourced from the British Library and some private collections. We have also seen some post-1857 mutiny photographs of Delhi and Lucknow commissioned by the British patrons. In the course of my research in the Prints and Photographs Division of the US Library of Congress, I stumbled upon a most fascinating voluminous stock of photographs on India collected by one Frank G. Carpenter and also some other American visitors to India. The Carpenter Collection was donated to the US Library by his daughter in 1951 and I was the first person to discover this fabulous record of the Indian panorama. Incidentally, it was editorially acknowledged by the American Centre, New Delhi, in their magazine Span that Carpenter's collection was discovered by me and no scholar had earlier ever mentioned about it. I have been exploring the visual record of the British period to reconstruct the social and cultural scene in India during the Raj. The British libraries and museums were my favourite haunts but I was struck by the Carpenter collection, which covers the period of the late 19th to the early 20th century and contains rare images of the picturesque and exotic India and its people which are of immense historic value. Despite the primitive camera and other ancillary equipment used by the early photographers, it is noteworthy that most of the photographs are of a high standard, comparable in quality with the best of photography of that period. As the travellers and visitors to India at that time rarely carried a personal camera, they invariably bought photographs of the Indian panorama from the commercial photographers who catered to the demands of the tourists. ** [snip] http://www.tribuneindia.com/2010/20100523/spectrum/main1.htm --- Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar

In 1920's and early 30's my father was in Cable & Wireless. His postings were in Port Blair, Andaman Islands, Rangoon, Peshawar and elsewhere. Years later he was in Bangalore with the Government Post & Telegraph department. When did Cable & Wireless cease operating in the sub continent and were the employees then taken over by the P & T?

Dear All: There is a book coming out shortly about Anglo-Indian women. Originally I was to have an article in the book, but due to some editorial disagreements and in the end because I could not allow my article to go to print without my final review, the story was withdrawn with my deepest regrets, at the 11th hour. However, I believe this story needs to be known and so here it is with my compliments for those of you who wish to read a little about the heroic contributions of a great Anglo-Indian woman to the War effort in Burma in the 1940's. She was the recipient of The George Medal for her heroic deeds. http://www.familysecuritymatters.org http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.6287/pub_detail.asp "Burma's Florence Nightingale - Helen Rodriguez" By Sandra Carney
