Title: India: Identification of Calcutta cemetery
Post by: Aks on Saturday 08 July 17 10:09 BST (UK)

Can anyone tell me which cemetery / church is referred to in the attached extract of a burial record from Calcutta, India?

Is it likely that one could obtain more information about a person who died and was buried there in 1911 whose death record is given on FindMyPast? Unfortunately, the records seemingly available on FindMyPast and at the British Library do not contain a lot of detail.

Thank you,

Alan

Hi,

This could be the cemetery (General Episcopal Cemetery) -

Thank you, JJ. That's all I can think of myself, but it's nice to have a confirmation. Alan
