Does anyone know what her (& her six sisters') maqiden name was? Vanya ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar <[email protected]> Date: 24 October 2010 14:08 Subject: [INDIA-BRITISH-RAJ] JULIA MARGARET CAMERON - One of the 19th Century's Most Acclaimed Photographers To: [email protected] PITTSBURGH, PA.- On October 23, 2010, the exhibition For my best beloved Sister Mia: An Album of Photographs by Julia Margaret Cameron opened at the Frick Art & Historical Center. Now considered to be one of photography's early masters, Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879) is one of the best-known photographers of the Victorian era. >From the time she received her first camera as a gift when she was 48 years old, she worked to develop the medium and her personal artistic vision. The Mia album features 70 photographs that Cameron compiled collaboratively with her sister Maria "Mia" Jackson. JULIA MARGARET CAMERON Rather than being a proper Victorian housewife who suddenly turned artistic, an unconventional streak ran deeply within Julia Margaret Cameron. Born in Calcutta, India, to a well -to-do British family, Julia Margaret Cameron was one of seven sisters renowned in Anglo-Indian society for their intelligence and beauty. In 1838 she married Charles Hay Cameron, who was 20 years her elder. The family lived for a time in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), where they purchased a number of coffee and rubber plantations before returning to England in 1848 and eventually establishing themselves on the Isle of Wight, a quiet seaside enclave. It is unknown exactly when Cameron first became interested in photography, but she was given her own camera in 1863 at the age of 48, as a Christmas gift from one of her grown daughters. At the time, her husband was traveling abroad and her six older children were not living at home.

August 25, 2009 Train of thought Another fateful accident in Madras Presidency forced the authorities to script a monumental law that is still in currency. It occurred in 1901 and involved the Postal Express, a passenger train with two of its bogies carrying postal material. Following this accident, a law was passed to prevent close kin working together on the same train.

Sunday, Oct 24, 2010 CAMBRIDGE: Is the old "empire" symbolised by the British "raj" really dead for good, or does it continue to linger on in other forms? What has been the impact of the loss of empires on erstwhile colonial powers? And what kind of challenges do former colonies such as India still face more than half a century after gaining independence? These were some of the questions debated at a conference 'Lessons of Empire' organised by the Centre of South Asian Studies, Cambridge University, in honour of V.G. Kiernan, the distinguished British Marxist historian who spent many years in India during the second World War.

I have just watched a lovely programme on Sky Ch.280 "Horse & Country" called "Under the Spell of Horses". An hour long with an English translators voice over the voices, music etc of Rajasthan ..made in India by an EU funded organisation. As many of these type of films are re programmed may I suggest that you keep a look out as I think that, even if horses are not your thing, you will find it a fascinating show.

Hilary, The British Association for Cemeteries in South Asia publish registers for some cemeteries in India including one for South Park Street. There is no published register that I know of for Lower Circular Road. To obtain the grave references for this cemetery I wrote to The Association for the Preservation of Historical Cemeteries in India, 1, Chowringhee Road, Calcutta-700 071, India. This was some years ago and I don't know if they still exist; I know of someone who has since written to them and not received a reply. The British Association for Cemeteries in South Asia can be found at: http://indian-cemeteries.org/bacsa/ You could try them although they don't publish a register for Lower Circular Road. I would mention, however, that although I am a member of BACSA I find it difficult to get a reply from them to a research query. Another publication of interest is 'The Bengal Obituary'. It does not give grave numbers but it does give MIs for many of the graveyards in Bengal including South Park Street. It was published in 1851 and only goes up to a date sometime before that.

Is Dinapore the same place as Danapur near Patna? If so, is someone who died at Dinapore/Danapur likely to be buried at Patna or does Dinapore have a separate cemetery? Can anyone tell me if there has been any transcription of MIs for these locations? David
