    3. This is a copy of a message that I sent to the INDIA-L list: In my earlier listing (11 November 2007) of my ggf John Daniel Harvey, I wrote that he lived in Ferozepore, Assam. The baptism records for his son (Ashley Edwin Dunbar Harvey 1873-1941) indicate that it was not Ferozepore, Assam but FERZEPORE, ASSAM. I presumed that there had been a mistake in transcription. My difficulty is that (using Google) I cannot find Ferzepore, Assam and Google suggests Ferozepore, which is in the Punjab. Is (or was) there such a place as Ferzepore, Assam? I understand that Ferozepore means 'no place.' Am I right? I also notice that my heading was John Daniel Harvey - last half of eighteenth century; it should, of course, have been John Daniel Harvey - last half of nineteenth century. Apologies to fellow listers. For information, this is a recent message that I had from Lawrie Butler: I checked Bengal reference N/1/205/9 which was an Adult Baptism at St James Ch., Calcutta.Bapt 11 Sep 1888, born 18 May 1873 Ashley Edwin Dunbar HARVEY son of John Daniel & Dina Matilda Harvey of Ferzepore, Assam; Superintendent, Deputy Commissioner's Office; Walter Kitchin, Chaplin. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, (Baffled) Mike Richards
