    1. [INDIA-BRITISH-RAJ] Cawnpore Massacre [Names: ELLIOT, ALEXANDER, CASAMAIJOR, KENNEDY, CAMPBELL, DON]
    2. Kent Elliot
    3. Hello Listers I have been following with interest the discussion on those killed during the Cawnpore massacre of 1857. At the time my great grandfather, then 3 y.o. was at Fort Mhow in Central India with his parents, however in his obituary on his death in 1915 it was stated that 37 of his relatives died in the Well of Cawnpore. I believe this reference to 37 relatives who died probably included those killed in the battle of by the river and my have also have included those killed elsewhere during the mutiny. I was interested in finding if a complete list of those killed at Cawnpore was available, so was interested to see those listed in the All Souls Church Memorial. Unfortunately "Mr & Mrs Elliott and children" gives little more clue to their identity, nor does "Mr Alexander". Is there any more complete information which may include initials of those killed either at Cawnpore or elsewhere in the mutiny? Kent Elliot
