<p>EleanorNeil: /* Danish-Halle Mission */</p> <hr /> <div>Also see '''[[Chaplain]]'''<br /> <br /> ==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> ==FIBIS resources==<br /> *[http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=list_sources&amp;source_class=241 Ministers and missionaries] section of the FIBIS database<br /> *[http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&amp;id=889&amp;s_id=69 Indian Missionary Directory and Memorial Volume] 2587 names have been indexed from this book which records Protestant Missionaries who have served in India.<br /> <br /> <br /> == British Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> British Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by missionary societies from the United Kingdom. There was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept. Missionary societies from outside of Britain and additional Indian missionary sources which may provide useful background have been added in separate sections below.<br /> <br /> ===Baptist Missionary Society===<br /> Present title is the “BMS World Mission”.

First missionary commissioned to India in 1829. In 1843 the Church of Scotland missionaries in India, with once exception, broke away and joined the Free Church of Scotland. In 1929 the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church of Scotland merged and records were consolidated. The work in India had foreshadowed this union, with most congregations uniting to form the Presbyterian Church in India in 1903. <br /> <br /> A useful overview of the various Presbyterian denominations' missionary work in India is found in chapters two and four of [http://www.electricscotland.com/bible/church/index.htm ''The Scottish churches' work abroad''] by JH Morrison (Edinburgh: Clarke, 1927). <br /> <br /> Contact details: <br /> :“Church of Scotland World Mission Council”, 121 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4YN <br /> :Tel: (0131) 225 5722 &lt;br&gt;<br /> :E-mail: worldmission@cofscotland.org.uk &lt;br&gt;<br /> :[http://www.churchofscotland.org.uk/councils/worldmission World Mission Council web pages]<br /> <br /> === Eastern Himalayan Mission ===<br /> Founded in 1870 by the Church of Scotland.

<p>EleanorNeil: /* Other Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives */</p> <hr /> <div>Also see '''[[Chaplain]]'''<br /> <br /> ==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> ==FIBIS resources==<br /> *[http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=list_sources&amp;source_class=241 Ministers and missionaries] section of the FIBIS database<br /> *[http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&amp;id=889&amp;s_id=69 Indian Missionary Directory and Memorial Volume] 2587 names have been indexed from this book which records Protestant Missionaries who have served in India.<br /> <br /> <br /> == British Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> British Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by missionary societies from the United Kingdom. There was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept. Missionary societies from outside of Britain and additional Indian missionary sources which may provide useful background have been added in separate sections below.<br /> <br /> ===Baptist Missionary Society===<br /> Present title is the “BMS World Mission”.

<p>EleanorNeil: /* Danish-Halle Mission */</p> <hr /> <div>Also see '''[[Chaplain]]'''<br /> <br /> ==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> ==FIBIS resources==<br /> *[http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=list_sources&amp;source_class=241 Ministers and missionaries] section of the FIBIS database<br /> *[http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&amp;id=889&amp;s_id=69 Indian Missionary Directory and Memorial Volume] 2587 names have been indexed from this book which records Protestant Missionaries who have served in India.<br /> <br /> <br /> == British Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> British Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by missionary societies from the United Kingdom. There was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept.

<p>EleanorNeil: /* Danish-Halle Mission */</p> <hr /> <div>Also see '''[[Chaplain]]'''<br /> <br /> ==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> ==FIBIS resources==<br /> *[http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=list_sources&amp;source_class=241 Ministers and missionaries] section of the FIBIS database<br /> *[http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&amp;id=889&amp;s_id=69 Indian Missionary Directory and Memorial Volume] 2587 names have been indexed from this book which records Protestant Missionaries who have served in India.<br /> <br /> <br /> == British Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> British Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by missionary societies from the United Kingdom. There was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept. Missionary societies from outside of Britain and additional Indian missionary sources which may provide useful background have been added in separate sections below.<br /> <br /> ===Baptist Missionary Society===<br /> Present title is the “BMS World Mission”.

The work in India had foreshadowed this union, with most congregations uniting to form the Presbyterian Church in India in 1903. <br /> <br /> A useful overview of the various Presbyterian denominations' missionary work in India is found in chapters two and four of [http://www.electricscotland.com/bible/church/index.htm ''The Scottish churches' work abroad''] by JH Morrison (Edinburgh: Clarke, 1927). <br /> <br /> Contact details: <br /> :“Church of Scotland World Mission Council”, 121 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4YN <br /> :Tel: (0131) 225 5722 &lt;br&gt;<br /> :E-mail: worldmission@cofscotland.org.uk &lt;br&gt;<br /> :[http://www.churchofscotland.org.uk/councils/worldmission World Mission Council web pages]<br /> <br /> === Eastern Himalayan Mission ===<br /> Founded in 1870 by the Church of Scotland.

<p>EleanorNeil: /* Danish-Halle Mission */</p> <hr /> <div>Also see '''[[Chaplain]]'''<br /> <br /> ==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> ==FIBIS resources==<br /> *[http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=list_sources&amp;source_class=241 Ministers and missionaries] section of the FIBIS database<br /> *[http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&amp;id=889&amp;s_id=69 Indian Missionary Directory and Memorial Volume] 2587 names have been indexed from this book which records Protestant Missionaries who have served in India.<br /> <br /> <br /> == British Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> British Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by missionary societies from the United Kingdom. There was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept.

He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> ==FIBIS resources==<br /> *[http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=list_sources&amp;source_class=241 Ministers and missionaries] section of the FIBIS database<br /> *[http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&amp;id=889&amp;s_id=69 Indian Missionary Directory and Memorial Volume] 2587 names have been indexed from this book which records Protestant Missionaries who have served in India.<br /> <br /> <br /> == British Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> British Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by missionary societies from the United Kingdom. There was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept.

The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, may also be accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept.<br /> <br /> === Danish-Halle Mission ===<br /> Established in 1706. Lutheran.

<p>EleanorNeil: /* Other Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives */</p> <hr /> <div>Also see '''[[Chaplain]]'''<br /> <br /> ==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> ==FIBIS resources==<br /> *[http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=list_sources&amp;source_class=241 Ministers and missionaries] section of the FIBIS database<br /> *[http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&amp;id=889&amp;s_id=69 Indian Missionary Directory and Memorial Volume] 2587 names have been indexed from this book which records Protestant Missionaries who have served in India.<br /> <br /> <br /> == British Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> British Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by missionary societies from the United Kingdom. There was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept. Missionary societies from outside of Britain and additional Indian missionary sources which may provide useful background have been added in separate sections below.<br /> <br /> ===Baptist Missionary Society===<br /> Present title is the “BMS World Mission”.

<p>EleanorNeil: Beginning of process to add further missionary societies</p> <hr /> <div>Also see '''[[Chaplain]]'''<br /> <br /> ==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> ==FIBIS resources==<br /> *[http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=list_sources&amp;source_class=241 Ministers and missionaries] section of the FIBIS database<br /> *[http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&amp;id=889&amp;s_id=69 Indian Missionary Directory and Memorial Volume] 2587 names have been indexed from this book which records Protestant Missionaries who have served in India.<br /> <br /> <br /> == British Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> British Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by missionary societies from the United Kingdom. There was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept. Missionary societies from outside of Britain and additional Indian missionary sources which may provide useful background have been added in separate sections below.<br /> <br /> ===Baptist Missionary Society===<br /> Present title is the “BMS World Mission”.

<p>EleanorNeil: /* External Links */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Tea leaves seeds and buds.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Tea leaves seeds and buds]]<br /> <br /> ==Early History concerning the East India Company’s trade in Tea (c1660-c1830)==<br /> <br /> '''Tea''' drinking became very fashionable in Britain in the 17th century – an occupation which was possibly precipitated by the marriage between Charles II and Catherine de Braganza in 1662 as this habit was popular in Europe at the time. Moreover, Charles II had spent much time in Holland and it was the [[Dutch]] who were early importers of tea from Asia to Europe. <br /> <br /> Tea was indeed a sought after luxury and, in fact, a large chest of tea formed part of the dowry that accompanied Catherine. Also forming part of this dowry was the gift of [[Bombay]], which allowed the [[East India Company]] to assume a strong foothold in India. This enabled the Company to trade with [[China]] and obtain a direct supply of tea.<br /> <br /> The tea industry in Britain flourished and subsidiary industries arose as the most beautiful teapots and tea services were evidenced in fashionable circles. This popularity in tea drinking was especially encouraged by the British government as it was realised that lucrative profit could be made from the levying of import taxes on the tea obtained by the East India Company.<br /> <br /> ===Tea Act 1773===<br /> <br /> Until 1773 the tea was sold exclusively in London to the various merchants and retailers but as the East India Company began to face financial difficulties, a Tea Act was passed whereby it was agreed the Company could distribute the tea directly to other British Colonies - particularly those in North America. This enabled tea to be offered abroad at a competitive price as the usual import tax did not apply, and the cost was lower even than of smuggled tea (which often came from Holland). However, the ensuing East India Company’s monopoly of the tea trade was not popular – and some part of this was because the cost was seen to be controlled by the British Government. This unpopularity is evidenced in the events of the Boston Tea Party in 1773, when the contents of tea chests held on East India company ships were seized and emptied overboard. (This was, in fact, one of the incidents which signalled the beginning of the American War of Independence).<br /> <br /> ===Opium Trade===<br /> <br /> China remained the supplier of tea to Britain , via the East India Company, from around 1700 to 1830. However, the demand for goods from Canton exceeded the supply and this was causing a trade deficit. It was important that the Company could entice China to accept more from them. From about 1780 onwards the inducement came in the form of opium. This [[Opium trade]] quickly escalated but the effect of the drug began to cause problems in China and eventually gave rise to the [[Opium Wars]] as the Chinese Government fought to rid their country of addiction.<br /> <br /> ===Cultivation of Tea Grown in India===<br /> <br /> Fortunately, by this time Britain had realised the potential of growing tea in India itself and the first [[Tea Plantation]] was cultivated in [[Assam]] in the early 1830s. At first the tea plants were imported from China to be grown in Indian soil but soon local plants were substituted. The industry thrived and soon spread to other parts of India. <br /> <br /> === Transportation===<br /> <br /> Tea was originally brought to Britain in huge sailing vessels known as “Tea clippers”. The last known example of one of these ships is the [http://www.cuttysark.org.uk/ “Cutty Sark”] which remains a popular tourist attraction in Greenwich (UK) to this day.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Related articles ==<br /> <br /> *[[Tea Plantation]] <br /> *[[Opium trade]]<br /> <br /> ==Recommended Reading==<br /> <br /> ''A Brief History of Tea'' by Roy Moxham (2009).

<p>EleanorNeil: spelling</p> <hr /> <div>Check the [http://www.new.fibis.org/products-page The FIBIS Bookshop] for availability of recommended titles and more information.<br /> <br /> <br /> * Axelby, Richard<br /> ''Science and the changing environment in India, 1780-1820 : a guide to sources in the India Office Records'' by Richard Axelby and Savithri Preetha Nair; edited by Andrew Cook.<br /> London: The British Library, 2010.<br /> <br /> The title makes clear that this book is not directed at genealogists or even family historians. Yet such is the massive (but apparently not exhaustive) collection of references included that this book may indeed prove to be a work of significant value to family researchers seeking added information about the circumstances which impacted on their ancestors’ lives and professions in India.<br /> <br /> As with defense, administration, planting and trade, scientific enquiry was carried out by men who may have been our ancestors. In David Arnold’s Foreword he points out that from about 1780 scientific study focussed on enhancing the material condition of Indian life through famine prevention, agriculture, and identification of products to benefit British and Indian commerce. This early period of scientific interest was reflected in the formation of the Asiatic Society of Bengal in 1784 by senior EIC military and civil officers.<br /> <br /> The introductory and explanatory sections absorb 23 pages, which are followed by these 11 chapters or divisions: 1. Plants and Botanic Gardens, 2. Agriculture, 3. Forests and Forestry, <br /> 4. Animals and Animal Husbandry, 5. Geology, 6. Meteorology, 7. Health and Disease, 8. Irrigation and Water Control, 9. Communications and the Built Environment, 10. Ethnography, and 11. Landscape and Topography. Each section starts with a brief introduction and outline of the major subdivisions of that section. These major subdivisions are further divided most often by location, or by specific topic such as plants, diseases etc. <br /> <br /> Researchers with Planting ancestors will find the chapter on Agriculture worthwhile. For Indigo Planters, F/4/1277, no.51242 includes lists of plantations and factories with names of their European owners 1829-1830; papers re Land Grants for Coffee Cultivation 1827-1831 can be found at F/4/1398, and of course there are numerous references to Tea cultivation. We learn that Soldiers were encouraged in gardening as “Prizes awarded to the men who have been the most industrious and successful in the cultivation of barrack and soldiers’ gardens in the Bengal Presidency 1856-1857” can be found at F/4/2685 no.186678 and F/4/2695 no.191082. Chapter 7 on Health and Disease covers the whole range of hospitals, sanatoriums and asylums, including lunatic asylums, in which respect reference is made to “Returns of public patients (European and native) treated at Bhawanipur and Dullunda asylums from 1840-1858” to be found in P/13-P/15. Chapter 6 on Meteorology is valuable for its references to extreme weather events such as cyclones in which our ancestors may have been caught up or lost their lives.<br /> <br /> The concluding part is an amazing 43 page index which makes the entire contents very accessible. It includes many personal names.<br /> <br /> Clearly this is not a reference source for the beginner, but for the advanced researcher who enjoys browsing printed matter or who is seeking more depth about their ancestor’s lives on the sub-continent, and is able to attend the British Library in person.

It covers records from the armies' origins until their assimilation into the British Army by 1860. Laid out in a clear and accessible manner, the book directs searchers to records on all available stages of a man's career, whether officer or soldier, including sources which may provide details on his wife and children. For those researchers not fortunate enough to have access to the India Office Records at the British Library, the LDS film numbers are included.

Thankfully, the author provides invaluable guidance on exactly where relevant information may be located for more than forty different categories of people. The reader is also directed to published sources.

Lawrie Butler was the former FIBIS Research Officer and his helpfully illustrated article ''Hints on research in the India Office Records at the British Library Asian and African Studies reading room'' carefully sets out what can be accomplished before visiting the library, how to gain admission to the library, and what to do once you enter the reading room in order to obtain maximum results.

Written by Richard Morgan, whom many will know from his articles in family history journals on genealogical research relating to India, it is in his characteristically brisk and down-to-earth style, and full of practical advice on how to get the best out of these important sources. In particular he draws attention to the sometimes underestimated Thacker's Indian Directory which so often comes to the rescue when your ancestor was a 'non-official' and therefore omitted from almost all the official records. All the directories discussed are readily available at the British Library and directions are given on locating them elsewhere.

For those researchers not fortunate enough to have access to the India Office Records at the British Library, the LDS film numbers are included.

The information sought will probably be found in the India Office Records, which occupy 15 km of shelving hidden away in the basements of the British Library. Thankfully, the author provides invaluable guidance on exactly where relevant information may be located for more than forty different categories of people. The reader is also directed to published sources.

This very practical booklet contains two articles which will reduce stress and possible frustration when beginning research in the India Office Records at the British Library in London. Lawrie Butler was the former FIBIS Research Officer and his helpfully illustrated article ''Hints on research in the India Office Records at the British Library Asian and African Studies reading room'' carefully sets out what can be accomplished before visiting the library, how to gain admission to the library, and what to do once you enter the reading room in order to obtain maximum results. Elaine MacGregor's article ''First visits to the OIOC by a 'newbie''' is a useful case study recounting her experience of using the same reading room.

Written by Richard Morgan, whom many will know from his articles in family history journals on genealogical research relating to India, it is in his characteristically brisk and down-to-earth style, and full of practical advice on how to get the best out of these important sources. In particular he draws attention to the sometimes underestimated Thacker's Indian Directory which so often comes to the rescue when your ancestor was a 'non-official' and therefore omitted from almost all the official records. All the directories discussed are readily available at the British Library and directions are given on locating them elsewhere.

The information sought will probably be found in the India Office Records, which occupy 15 km of shelving hidden away in the basements of the British Library. Thankfully, the author provides invaluable guidance on exactly where relevant information may be located for more than forty different categories of people. The reader is also directed to published sources. If confronted by an obscure term while researching, for instance on learning that an ancestor was a clerk in the Sadr Faujdari Adalat, then 'The glossary of terms used in the administration of British India' towards the end of this guide will be enlightening.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * ''The British overseas : a guide to records of their births, baptisms, marriages, deaths and burials available in the UK''. 3rd ed.<br /> London: Guildhall Library, 1994 (Guildhall Library research guide; 2)<br /> <br /> Even though some of these records may now be available through the internet, this book is still of use to researchers based in, or able to visit, the United Kingdom.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * [[image:FFF2.jpg|right]]''Getting started with the India Office Records''. Weybridge: Families in British India Society, 2009 (FIBIS fact files; 2)<br /> <br /> Planning your first visit to the British Library? This very practical booklet contains two articles which will reduce stress and possible frustration when beginning research in the India Office Records at the British Library in London. Lawrie Butler was the former FIBIS Research Officer and his helpfully illustrated article ''Hints on research in the India Office Records at the British Library Asian and African Studies reading room'' carefully sets out what can be accomplished before visiting the library, how to gain admission to the library, and what to do once you enter the reading room in order to obtain maximum results. Elaine MacGregor's article ''First visits to the OIOC by a 'newbie''' is a useful case study recounting her experience of using the same reading room. Both articles were previously published in the FIBIS ''Journal''.<br /> <br /> <br /> * McLaughlin, Eve<br /> ''Reading old handwriting''. 3rd augmented ed. Haddenham, Bucks.: The author, 1995 (A McLaughlin guide)<br /> <br /> Brief but extremely helpful to someone who is new to reading original records. The sample alphabets for various periods are invaluable, as is the section on common abbreviations which includes Christian names which are regularly shortened.<br /> <br /> <br /> * Morgan, Richard<br /> [[Image:FFF3.jpg|right]] ''Indian Directories''. London: Families in British India Society, 2009 (FIBIS fact files; 3)<br /> <br /> This booklet provides an invaluable guide to the printed directories available on people who lived or served in British India, with examples of the kind of information useful to family historians to be found in them. Written by Richard Morgan, whom many will know from his articles in family history journals on genealogical research relating to India, it is in his characteristically brisk and down-to-earth style, and full of practical advice on how to get the best out of these important sources. In particular he draws attention to the sometimes underestimated Thacker's Indian Directory which so often comes to the rescue when your ancestor was a 'non-official' and therefore omitted from almost all the official records. All the directories discussed are readily available at the British Library and directions are given on locating them elsewhere. (reviewed by David Blake, FIBIS Trustee)<br /> <br /> <br /> * [[Image:FFF1.jpg|right]]''Researching Anglo-Indian ancestry''. Weybridge: Families in British India Society, 2009 (FIBIS fact files; 1)<br /> <br /> Essential for any family historian with blended ethnicity. The booklet contains two expanded and updated articles previously published in the FIBIS ''Journal'': ''The children of John Company : the Anglo-Indians'' by Geraldine Charles, and ''A Luso-Indian voyage'' by Cliff Pereira. These two authorities provide invaluable information: definitions of the various terms used for those of mixed race in the Indian sub-continent, a brief background history of these communities, reading lists, and, by using their own families as a basis, a demonstration of how to effectively research Anglo-Indian ancestors.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Spencer, William<br /> ''First World War army service records : a guide for family historians''. 4th ed. Kew: The National Archives, 2008<br /> <br /> This invaluable guide to locating information on ancestors who served in WW1 has been expanded and updated to refer to many resources which are now available online. The primary source is still the National Archives (TNA) at Kew in England, where in addition to the more obvious Records of Service (British Army officers and other ranks, RAF, WAAC, auxiliary and nursing services) are those of the Indian Army and Dominion Forces. This directs the family historian to a possible treasure trove of records, including those for medals and awards, prisoners of war, unit war diaries and maps.<br /> <br /> <br /> * [[Image:FFF4.jpg|right]]Wilding, Hugh<br /> ''Research sources for Indian railways, 1845-1947''. London: Families in British India Society, 2009 (FIBIS fact files; 4)<br /> <br /> Inspired by the discovery that a great grandfather had been an employee of the Indian Railways, the author has over the past fifteen years made himself thoroughly acquainted with all UK sources for researching ancestors connected with the Indian railway system. After an introduction which includes an article by Anthony West, another FIBIS researcher in this field, Wilding provides comprehensive lists of the relevant UK archives covering not only the India Office Records, but also The National Archives, the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and the Centre of South Asian Studies. There is also a very full book list, a glossary, and – something which has probably never before been attempted – a complete finding list of railways known to have operated in India between 1853 and 1947.

As the HEIC began the habit of issuing general campaign medals examples of several of these are pictured. Whether one wants to identify a medal inherited from an ancestor or see what an ancestor's campaign medal would have looked like this title is a useful starting point.<br /> <br /> <br /> * Hennessy, Maurice<br /> ''The rajah from Tipperary''.<br /> Sevenoaks, Kent: New English Library, 1972<br /> <br /> This little book (under 200 pages) relates the rise and fall of the inimitable George Thomas (1756-1802), an Irish mercenary who was leader of a large contingent of soldiers, became the one-time lover of the renowned Begum Sombru and eventually established his own kingdom based at Hansi. The narrative reveals the complexity of a man who exhibited a ruthless courage in pursuit of his enemy but was loyal and generous in his dealings with his own men and those who hired them. Each chapter embodies quotes from relevant texts and footnotes to satisfy the academic. For the average reader, this book is an excellent introduction to this early period in the history of India and to the type of life lead by European mercenary soldiers. There is also a list of characters and glossary for ease of reference, plus a bibliography. An enthralling and unforgettable read. Recommended. (Beverly Hallam, FIBIS trustee, 2010) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Holmes, Richard<br /> ''Sahib : the British soldier in India 1750-1914''.<br /> London: HarperCollins, 2005<br /> <br /> &quot;Holmes is a distinguished historian of the British Army ...[In this book he writes] about both [East India] Company and British Army soldiers, and both the officers and the rankers. He seems to be on surer ground when it comes to the British Army and to the officers but still has much to tell us on the rankers, with his source material coming from a mixture of the ten page bibliography and memoirs and letters. He lists eighteen such sources in the National Army Museum and thirteen in the British Library (as well as published sources), and gives numerous extracts from them as he describes what life was like... As nearly every fact is footnoted with the citation, anyone who is interested can follow up clues in the bibliography. All in all, this 500 page book is excellent background reading for anyone with a soldier ancestor.&quot; The full review by Steve van Dulken is available on p. 46 of the FIBIS ''Journal'' 15 (Spring 2006)<br /> <br /> <br /> * Irving, Miles<br /> ''Soldiers of the Raj'', compiled by Miles Irving and George William De Rhé-Philipe.<br /> Uckfield: Naval &amp; Military Press, 2002<br /> <br /> Inscriptions from graves and monuments of some 1100 soldiers, mostly officers, together with additional biographical notes. Originally published as volume 2 of the Indian Monumental Inscription Series, this covers the Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, Kashmir and Afghanistan.<br /> <br /> <br /> * Nath, Ashok<br /> ''Izzat : historical records and iconography of Indian Cavalry Regiments 1757-2007.''<br /> Delhi: Centre for Armed Forces Historical Research, United Service Institution of India, 2009<br /> <br /> &quot;This enormous tome is effectively an encyclopedia of anything which can described as an Indian cavalry regiment. Its purpose of the book is explained in the opening paragraph:<br /> <br /> ''This book attempts to record the regimental iconography of Indian Cavalry regiments in the armies of India from circa 1750 to present times including Pakistan. Since the evolution of regimental iconography or the regimental badges would be incomplete without its history , the lineage, battle honours, ethnic composition, highest awards won, as well as highlights from the respective histories are included.''<br /> <br /> ... Within each section, the regiment is described in terms of the date and circumstances of its being first raised; what the author calls its lineage (that is any mergers with other regiments in its composition), its battle honours; its ethnic composition; a very brief description of its uniform (eg 13th Duke of Connaught’s (Watson’s Horse) Uniform Blue Facings Scarlet), highest gallantry awards, and finally its iconography – that is to say the details of buttons, shako badges and so forth which identify the regiment.<br /> <br /> It must be admitted that some of these sections are brief. However the completeness of the coverage of all regiments is impressive. It even includes short-lived volunteer corps such as the Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry, which lasted for about a year during the Mutiny...<br /> <br /> The iconography section does not show uniforms – only the buttons and badges, sabretaches and a few shakoes... It must be regretted that there are no illustrations of picturesque uniforms...<br /> <br /> Nevertheless the more limited objectives that the author has set himself have been realised very thoroughly. This is not a book to find out about individual family ancestors, but it is a book to find out about something of what sort of regiment they served in and about its 'iconography' (to use the author’s word). Izzat means respect or renown, and this is a work of love and piety to a great tradition, and is available for reference on the open shelves of the Asian and African Studies Reading Room at the British Library.&quot;<br /> <br /> The full review by Richard Morgan, former FIBIS Trustee, appears in FIBIS ''Journal'' 23 (Spring 2010) pp. 49-50, available online to members in Search FIBIS.

[It] lists all the Regiments of Foot ... and cross-references the regimental names with the regimental numbers. Equally importantly, it covers when regiments were raised, disbanded, and amalgamated with other regiments (including battalions). Each regiment has a brief history, and includes additional information such as battle honours, Victoria Crosses, nicknames, mottoes, memorials and details for the regimental museum. There are also numerous colour and B&amp;W illustrations ... Please note that this book does not cover the Royal Artillery or the Royal Engineers&quot;.

Toronto: Hunter Rose, 1880<br /> <br /> &quot;This book, which is available online through the [http://www.archive.org/details/tenyearsinindiai00gouluoft Canadian Libraries Internet Archive], records the author’s ten year tour of duty with the 16th Lancers in India from 1837 to 1846, gives a fascinating insight into the early days of the Raj, and life in the British Army. It also explores his later military exploits with the Cape Corps Levies in Africa. It will appeal to those who have military ancestors, and those who are interested in military history – with the added spice of eye-witness accounts of that history. <br /> <br /> There are very powerful descriptions of the battles of Ghunzee, Cabul, Maharajapoor, Buddiwal, Aliwal, Sabraon etc, as well as descriptions of the beauty or otherwise of the countryside and the military cantonments. It also contains humorous anecdotes, descriptions of British soldier's social life in India at that time from the point of view of a non-commissioned officer, and the hardships endured during the battles.&quot; (Ainslie Sharpe, 2009) <br /> <br /> <br /> * Richards, Frank<br /> ''Old soldier sahib''.<br /> Uckfield: Naval &amp; Military Press, 2003<br /> <br /> Private Frank Richards DCM MM, enlisted in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers in 1901 and, in this reprinted prequel to ''Old soldiers never die'', he recounts his experiences as a British soldier serving primarily in India and Burma prior to WW1.

(FIBIS research guide; 1)<br /> <br /> This is the essential handbook for anyone researching ancestors who were connected to the HEIC Armies of Bengal, Bombay, and Madras. It covers records from the armies' origins until their assimilation into the British Army in 1860. Laid out in a clear and accessible manner, the book directs searchers to records on all available stages of a man's career, whether officer or soldier, including sources which may provide details on his wife and children. For those researchers not fortunate enough to have access to the India Office Records at the British Library, the LDS film numbers are included.

In the author's forward he notes that much of the contents of the book originally appeared as a series of articles in ''The Statesman'' during 1938-39. All the histories were compiled from official or regimental sources. For each regiment Major Jackson covers its development and changes of names, with relevant dates, actions, awards, notes on uniforms, etc. The book is copiously illustrated with photographs and drawings of badges. No regiment is excluded, with brief histories of the units of the Auxiliary Force (Volunteer Regiments) included, as well as lengthier descriptions of the Indian States Forces, Body Guards and Irregular Regiments. The only criticism is that there is neither a bibliography nor a subject index provided. However, the overall content makes this an outstanding work of reference on the Indian Army from its earliest days as EIC Army regiments up to the outbreak of WWII&quot;.

On his retirement he wrote some excellent books on India. One was ''A Matter of Honour'' which traces the history of the Indian Army from its origins under the East India Company through to Independence in 1947. All the main campaigns of the Indian Army and of course the disintegration of the Bengal Army in the Mutiny and its later painful reconstruction are chronicled.<br /> <br /> A major theme is how you instill loyalty in what can be seen effectively as an army of occupation. The answer according to Mason is only by the highest standards of military conduct.<br /> <br /> If your ancestors were in the Indian Army, whether under the East India Company or later, this book is highly recommended&quot;. (Richard Morgan FIBIS trustee, 2008)<br /> <br /> <br /> * Yeats-Brown, Francis <br /> ''Lives of a Bengal Lancer''. New ed. London: Dennis Dobson, 1954 (Twentieth century classics)<br /> <br /> &quot;This book won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for biography in 1930. It is a palatable sized introduction to the life of a Bengal Lancer from 1905 until the time his regiment was disbanded at the end of the First World War. However it is not a mere military account as the book divides naturally into three sections of interest. Primarily, the life of an English cavalryman in the Bengal lancers is presented. Days of regimental routine interspersed with pig sticking, polo playing and visiting nautch girls. The cavalry regiment comprises both English and Indian soldiers and the author easily assimilates the attitudes of both worlds – the society of the west and the mysticism of the East. <br /> <br /> During the First World War Yeats-Brown is sent to France and later joins a flying corps in Mesopotamia – where is he captured by Turks. He eventually escapes and returns to India. However his days as a lancer are soon over and the reader is presented with a wonderful tour of India as he goes in search of practising gurus to learn the secrets of yoga and inner truth. An evocative and satisfying read. Recommended.&quot; (Beverly Hallam, FIBIS trustee)<br /> <br /> ===Medical Departments===<br /> <br /> <br /> * Crawford, D.G.<br /> ''Roll of the Indian Medical Service 1615-1930''.<br /> Uckfield: Naval &amp; Military Press, 2002<br /> <br /> Originally published in 1930, this gives details of educational qualifications, dates of birth, appointments and promotions, and war service for 6,586 surgeons in the Indian Medical Service. The IMS was a division of the military, although its surgeons were sometimes seconded to civil postings. In addition to career information there are a variety of appendices and background detail on such topics as medical colleges and places of instruction in India.

Operations from the Persian Gulf to the Burma and First China Wars, from Aden to New Zealand and the Maori Wars, and the Indian Mutiny. Survey work from the Red Sea to the China Seas. The author entered the East India Company's Indian Navy in 1853 and saw active service against pirates and slave traders in waters ranging from Zanzibar to the China Seas. This edition includes indexes of ships and officers, compiled by Captain Douglas Morris R.N.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Wars and battles==<br /> <br /> ===The Mutiny===<br /> <br /> * Dalrymple, William<br /> ''The last Mughal : the fall of a dynasty, Delhi, 1857''.<br /> London: Bloomsbury, 2006<br /> <br /> For anyone who wishes to form a balanced picture of the Indian Mutiny, this is essential reading. The last Mughal of the book's title was the Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar II, whose line, the House of Timur, had gradually seen their power and influence eroded by the British foreigners. Coming as traders but gradually amassing for themselves huge wealth and power, even to the extent of taking over the Emperor's capital city, Delhi, their overall arrogance and lack of understanding of the local people laid the ground for the largest uprising ever experienced in the British Empire. Using English, Urdu and Persian language sources, Dalrymple presents the results of his extensive research into the causes, events and consequences of the Mutiny in this readable but, of necessity, long book.<br /> <br /> <br /> * David, Saul<br /> ''The Indian Mutiny : 1857''.<br /> London: Viking, 2002<br /> <br /> This is the standard modern account of the Indian Mutiny.<br /> <br /> <br /> * Fremont-Barnes, Gregory<br /> ''The Indian Mutiny 1857-58''.<br /> Oxford: Osprey, 2007.

(Worlds of the East India Company; 2)<br /> <br /> &quot;From the outset there has been a tendency to see the ‘Mutiny’ purely in military terms and concentrate on the stirring deeds of heroism, and even many modern histories largely ignore all other aspects. Dr Llewellyn-Jones’ new book is a helpful corrective. Heroism is there in abundance – but also bureaucracy, misunderstanding, crass stupidity and worse. The events of those terrible two years of 1857-8 contain an uneasy mixture of deeds both great and monstrous.<br /> <br /> It must also be admitted that some of the older histories have tended to ignore the Indian point of view. Again Dr Llewellyn-Jones makes clear not only why so many Indians joined the uprising, but also how effective the Indian rule in the areas they controlled was.<br /> <br /> The book has useful studies of many neglected aspects of the Uprising – the use of Prize Agents for example.

As the HEIC began the habit of issuing general campaign medals examples of several of these are pictured. Whether one wants to identify a medal inherited from an ancestor or see what an ancestor's campaign medal would have looked like this title is a useful starting point.<br /> <br /> <br /> * Hennessy, Maurice<br /> ''The rajah from Tipperary''.<br /> Sevenoaks, Kent: New English Library, 1972<br /> <br /> This little book (under 200 pages) relates the rise and fall of the inimitable George Thomas (1756-1802), an Irish mercenary who was leader of a large contingent of soldiers, became the one-time lover of the renowned Begum Sombru and eventually established his own kingdom based at Hansi. The narrative reveals the complexity of a man who exhibited a ruthless courage in pursuit of his enemy but was loyal and generous in his dealings with his own men and those who hired them. Each chapter embodies quotes from relevant texts and footnotes to satisfy the academic. For the average reader, this book is an excellent introduction to this early period in the history of India and to the type of life lead by European mercenary soldiers. There is also a list of characters and glossary for ease of reference, plus a bibliography. An enthralling and unforgettable read. Recommended. (Beverly Hallam, FIBIS trustee, 2010) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Holmes, Richard<br /> ''Sahib : the British soldier in India 1750-1914''.<br /> London: HarperCollins, 2005<br /> <br /> &quot;Holmes is a distinguished historian of the British Army ...[In this book he writes] about both [East India] Company and British Army soldiers, and both the officers and the rankers. He seems to be on surer ground when it comes to the British Army and to the officers but still has much to tell us on the rankers, with his source material coming from a mixture of the ten page bibliography and memoirs and letters. He lists eighteen such sources in the National Army Museum and thirteen in the British Library (as well as published sources), and gives numerous extracts from them as he describes what life was like... As nearly every fact is footnoted with the citation, anyone who is interested can follow up clues in the bibliography. All in all, this 500 page book is excellent background reading for anyone with a soldier ancestor.&quot; The full review by Steve van Dulken is available on p. 46 of the FIBIS ''Journal'' 15 (Spring 2006)<br /> <br /> <br /> * Irving, Miles<br /> ''Soldiers of the Raj'', compiled by Miles Irving and George William De Rhé-Philipe.<br /> Uckfield: Naval &amp; Military Press, 2002<br /> <br /> Inscriptions from graves and monuments of some 1100 soldiers, mostly officers, together with additional biographical notes.

Its purpose of the book is explained in the opening paragraph:<br /> This book attempts to record the regimental iconography of Indian Cavalry regiments in the armies of India from circa 1750 to present times including Pakistan. Since the evolution of regimental iconography or the regimental badges would be incomplete without its history , the lineage, battle honours, ethnic composition, highest awards won, as well as highlights from the respective histories are included.<br /> . . . Within each section, the regiment is described in terms of the date and circumstances of its being first raised; what the author calls its lineage (that is any mergers with other regiments in its composition), its battle honours; its ethnic composition; a very brief description of its uniform (eg 13th Duke of Connaught’s (Watson’s Horse) Uniform Blue Facings Scarlet), highest gallantry awards, and finally its iconography – that is to say the details of buttons, shako badges and so forth which identify the regiment.<br /> It must be admitted that some of these sections are brief. However the completeness of the coverage of all regiments is impressive. It even includes short-lived volunteer corps such as the Bengal Yeomanry Cavalry, which lasted for about a year during the Mutiny. . .<br /> The iconography section does not show uniforms – only the buttons and badges, sabretaches and a few shakoes. . . It must be regretted that there are no illustrations of picturesque uniforms. . .<br /> Nevertheless the more limited objectives that the author has set himself have been realised very thoroughly. This is not a book to find out about individual family ancestors, but it is a book to find out about something of what sort of regiment they served in and about its 'iconography' (to use the author’s word). Izzat means respect or renown, and this is a work of love and piety to a great tradition, and is available for reference on the open shelves of the Asian and African Studies Reading Room at the British Library.&quot; The full review by Richard Morgan, former FIBIS Trustee, appears in FIBIS ''Journal'' 23 (Spring 2010) pp. 49-50, available online to members in Search FIBIS.

It also explores his later military exploits with the Cape Corps Levies in Africa. It will appeal to those who have military ancestors, and those who are interested in military history – with the added spice of eye-witness accounts of that history. <br /> <br /> There are very powerful descriptions of the battles of Ghunzee, Cabul, Maharajapoor, Buddiwal, Aliwal, Sabraon etc, as well as descriptions of the beauty or otherwise of the countryside and the military cantonments.

In the author's forward he notes that much of the contents of the book originally appeared as a series of articles in ''The Statesman'' during 1938-39. All the histories were compiled from official or regimental sources. For each regiment Major Jackson covers its development and changes of names, with relevant dates, actions, awards, notes on uniforms, etc. The book is copiously illustrated with photographs and drawings of badges. No regiment is excluded, with brief histories of the units of the Auxiliary Force (Volunteer Regiments) included, as well as lengthier descriptions of the Indian States Forces, Body Guards and Irregular Regiments. The only criticism is that there is neither a bibliography nor a subject index provided. However, the overall content makes this an outstanding work of reference on the Indian Army from its earliest days as EIC Army regiments up to the outbreak of WWII&quot;.

On his retirement he wrote some excellent books on India. One was ''A Matter of Honour'' which traces the history of the Indian Army from its origins under the East India Company through to Independence in 1947. All the main campaigns of the Indian Army and of course the disintegration of the Bengal Army in the Mutiny and its later painful reconstruction are chronicled.<br /> <br /> A major theme is how you instill loyalty in what can be seen effectively as an army of occupation. The answer according to Mason is only by the highest standards of military conduct.<br /> <br /> If your ancestors were in the Indian Army, whether under the East India Company or later, this book is highly recommended&quot;. (Richard Morgan FIBIS trustee, 2008)<br /> <br /> <br /> * Yeats-Brown, Francis <br /> ''Lives of a Bengal Lancer''. New ed. London: Dennis Dobson, 1954 (Twentieth century classics)<br /> <br /> &quot;This book won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for biography in 1930. It is a palatable sized introduction to the life of a Bengal Lancer from 1905 until the time his regiment was disbanded at the end of the First World War. However it is not a mere military account as the book divides naturally into three sections of interest. Primarily, the life of an English cavalryman in the Bengal lancers is presented. Days of regimental routine interspersed with pig sticking, polo playing and visiting nautch girls. The cavalry regiment comprises both English and Indian soldiers and the author easily assimilates the attitudes of both worlds – the society of the west and the mysticism of the East. <br /> <br /> During the First World War Yeats-Brown is sent to France and later joins a flying corps in Mesopotamia – where is he captured by Turks. He eventually escapes and returns to India. However his days as a lancer are soon over and the reader is presented with a wonderful tour of India as he goes in search of practising gurus to learn the secrets of yoga and inner truth. An evocative and satisfying read. Recommended.&quot; (Beverly Hallam, FIBIS trustee)<br /> <br /> ===Medical Departments===<br /> <br /> <br /> * Crawford, D.G.<br /> ''Roll of the Indian Medical Service 1615-1930''.<br /> Uckfield: Naval &amp; Military Press, 2002<br /> <br /> Originally published in 1930, this gives details of educational qualifications, dates of birth, appointments and promotions, and war service for 6,586 surgeons in the Indian Medical Service. The IMS was a division of the military, although its surgeons were sometimes seconded to civil postings. In addition to career information there are a variety of appendices and background detail on such topics as medical colleges and places of instruction in India.

Operations from the Persian Gulf to the Burma and First China Wars, from Aden to New Zealand and the Maori Wars, and the Indian Mutiny. Survey work from the Red Sea to the China Seas.

The last Mughal of the book's title was the Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar II, whose line, the House of Timur, had gradually seen their power and influence eroded by the British foreigners. Coming as traders but gradually amassing for themselves huge wealth and power, even to the extent of taking over the Emperor's capital city, Delhi, their overall arrogance and lack of understanding of the local people laid the ground for the largest uprising ever experienced in the British Empire. Using English, Urdu and Persian language sources, Dalrymple presents the results of his extensive research into the causes, events and consequences of the Mutiny in this readable but, of necessity, long book.<br /> <br /> <br /> * David, Saul<br /> ''The Indian Mutiny : 1857''.<br /> London: Viking, 2002<br /> <br /> This is the standard modern account of the Indian Mutiny.<br /> <br /> <br /> * Fremont-Barnes, Gregory<br /> ''The Indian Mutiny 1857-58''.<br /> Oxford: Osprey, 2007.

(Worlds of the East India Company; 2)<br /> <br /> &quot;From the outset there has been a tendency to see the ‘Mutiny’ purely in military terms and concentrate on the stirring deeds of heroism, and even many modern histories largely ignore all other aspects. Dr Llewellyn-Jones’ new book is a helpful corrective. Heroism is there in abundance – but also bureaucracy, misunderstanding, crass stupidity and worse. The events of those terrible two years of 1857-8 contain an uneasy mixture of deeds both great and monstrous.<br /> <br /> It must also be admitted that some of the older histories have tended to ignore the Indian point of view. Again Dr Llewellyn-Jones makes clear not only why so many Indians joined the uprising, but also how effective the Indian rule in the areas they controlled was.<br /> <br /> The book has useful studies of many neglected aspects of the Uprising – the use of Prize Agents for example.

The inscriptions for colleagues who went to Jamaica to establish schools and clinics for the slaves on that island are also included.<br /> <br /> <br /> *Hough, James<br /> ''The history of Christianity in India: from the commencement of the Christian Era''. 5 vols. [Online version] London: Seeley and Burnside, 1839-1860<br /> <br /> The Church of England minister James Hough was at one time a HEIC chaplain at Madras. His stated intention is to provide a purely factual account of the spread of Christianity in India. Hough's bias against Roman Catholics (having been criticized for calling them 'papists' he refers to them as 'romanists') is rather intrusive in the earlier volumes. [http://books.google.com/books?id=13YOAAAAQAAJ Volume 1] and [http://books.google.com/books?id=rHMIAAAAQAAJ Volume 2] cover the history of the Syrian (founded by Thomas) and Roman Catholic churches up to 1800 in India.

As the endeavours of missionaries and church organisations included establishing orphanages and schools this title will be of much more general interest to the researcher than may at first be thought. <br /> <br /> <br /> * Sykes, Marjorie<br /> ''Quakers in India : a forgotten century''.<br /> London: Allen &amp; Unwin, 1980<br /> <br /> A useful and readable introduction to the history of Friends involvement in India. The extent of their influence in so many spheres may surprise some readers. Quaker beliefs brought a different perspective to areas such as commerce (the first Friends-owned merchant ship to reach Calcutta in 1815 was 'armed' against the French with wooden, replica guns), journalism, education and politics. In covering the lives of these men and women (expatriate, Anglo-Indian and Indian), Sykes includes &quot;missed opportunities and mis-steps&quot;, as well as the positives.<br /> <br /> <br /> * Tatford, Fredk. A.<br /> ''That the world may know. Vol. 3 : the challenge of India.'' Bath, England: Echoes of Service, 1983<br /> <br /> This book details the contribution made by over 600 Christian brethren missionaries in the sub-continent of India and Sri Lanka since 1833, when Anthony Norris Groves responded to the need expressed by General Sir Arthur Cotton. They came from the British Isles, America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand; each one commissioned by their local assembly and serving without a guaranteed income. With a focus on evangelisation, they travelled on foot, by bicycle, buffalo cart and canal boat to preach and teach. Literacy as well as care of the sick and needy were priorities, and schools such as Clarence High in Bangalore are a noteworthy part of their legacy. As independent workers, these non-conformists present particular challenges to researchers. They are unlikely to appear in directories, did not baptise children, and marriages prior to 1910 will only appear in the ''Returns of registrar marriages in Bengal, Madras, Bombay and Burma'' (IOR/N/11), if at all. (Check [http://www.search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=list_sources&amp;source_class=102 Register Office Marriage Index 1852-1911]) All of which makes Tatford's work particularly useful. Includes an index, an alphabetical record of missionaries' service since 1872, and information on the missionary service groups.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category: Recommended reading]]</div>

London: Faber, 1994<br /> <br /> This book is a delightful blend of the culinary and social history of the Raj period. Although it contains over sixty authentic Anglo Indian recipes, it cannot be regarded as a mere recipe book but rather as an, often most amusing, observation of the changing habits of British India. There are descriptions of formal dinner parties accompanied by an order of precedence, hilarious attempts by Indian cooks to prepare anglicised dishes in deference to the fair ladies that arrived with the fishing fleet, food enjoyed by travelers in tents or dak bungalows, and offerings that ensured the army marched with a full belly! <br /> <br /> In addition to examining the impact of the British (and other Europeans) on the cuisine of India, the book also presents the way in which returning nabobs impacted on the palate of England. Worcestershire sauce, for example, is based on an Indian recipe and the emergence of an interest in curries resulted in Queen Victoria employing two Indian cooks. <br /> <br /> The book is indexed and contains a useful bibliography.

Dedicated to his mother and generously illustrated, Grant provides descriptions of such diverse topics as the layout of houses, the multitude of servants and their tasks, the best markets for various goods, where to find a plumber, cost of items and local fruit and vegetables. An explanation of the various means to keep cool extends from the home to a description of the arrangement of pulleys and ropes used to control the punkahs in St Paul's Cathedral.

This illustrated collection of 40 humorous anecdotes featuring various stereotypes such as 'our colonel' and 'our doctor's wife', 'our cook room', and 'our pig-sticking' can be accessed at [http://www.archive.org/details/curryriceonforty00atkiuoft Archive.org].<br /> <br /> A page from ''Ballads of Burma : anecdotal and analytical'' by Oolay (1912) at [http://www.archive.org/stream/balladsofburmaan00oolarich#page/4/mode/2up Archive.org] gives more details of George Atkinson.<br /> <br /> <br /> * Buettner, Elizabeth<br /> ''Empire families : Britons and Late Imperial India''.<br /> Oxford: OUP, 2004<br /> <br /> &quot;This is a very thorough study of the assumptions, prejudices, customs and practices of British families involved in British rule in India from the post-mutiny period to Indian independence in 1947. It discusses not only how those attitudes and practices affected the nature of British rule, particularly in fostering multi-generational involvement in the Raj, but also how that involvement affected the families themselves...

London: Faber, 1994<br /> <br /> This book is a delightful blend of the culinary and social history of the Raj period. Although it contains over sixty authentic Anglo Indian recipes, it cannot be regarded as a mere recipe book but rather as an, often most amusing, observation of the changing habits of British India. There are descriptions of formal dinner parties accompanied by an order of precedence, hilarious attempts by Indian cooks to prepare anglicised dishes in deference to the fair ladies that arrived with the fishing fleet, food enjoyed by travelers in tents or dak bungalows, and offerings that ensured the army marched with a full belly! <br /> <br /> In addition to examining the impact of the British (and other Europeans) on the cuisine of India, the book also presents the way in which returning nabobs impacted on the palate of England. Worcestershire sauce, for example, is based on an Indian recipe and the emergence of an interest in curries resulted in Queen Victoria employing two Indian cooks. <br /> <br /> The book is indexed and contains a useful bibliography.

Dedicated to his mother and generously illustrated, Grant provides descriptions of such diverse topics as the layout of houses, the multitude of servants and their tasks, the best markets for various goods, where to find a plumber, cost of items and local fruit and vegetables. An explanation of the various means to keep cool extends from the home to a description of the arrangement of pulleys and ropes used to control the punkahs in St Paul's Cathedral.

The extent of their influence in so many spheres may surprise some readers. Quaker beliefs brought a different perspective to areas such as commerce (the first Friends-owned merchant ship to reach Calcutta in 1815 was 'armed' against the French with wooden, replica guns), journalism, education and politics. In covering the lives of these men and women (expatriate, Anglo-Indian and Indian), Sykes includes &quot;missed opportunities and mis-steps&quot;, as well as the positives.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Recommended reading]]<br /> [[Category:Society]]</div>

<p>EleanorNeil: /* London Missionary Society (LMS) */ other sources</p> <hr /> <div>==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> == Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by European organisations, such as the [[German]] Lutherans or missionary societies from the United Kingdom. Of the latter, there was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. Smaller numbers of missionaries came from America and British colonies such as Australia and New Zealand. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept.

<p>EleanorNeil: /* London Missionary Society (LMS) */ some background</p> <hr /> <div>==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> == Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by European organisations, such as the [[German]] Lutherans or missionary societies from the United Kingdom. Of the latter, there was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. Smaller numbers of missionaries came from America and British colonies such as Australia and New Zealand. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept. Other Indian missionary sources which may provide useful background have been added.<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === Baptist Missionary Society ===<br /> <br /> Present title: “'''BMS World Mission'''” &lt;br&gt;<br /> PO Box 49 &lt;br&gt;<br /> 129 Broadway &lt;br&gt;<br /> Didcot &lt;br&gt;<br /> Oxon OX11 8XA &lt;br&gt;<br /> Tel: (01235) 517700 &lt;br&gt;<br /> Archives: Tel: (01235) 517626 &lt;br&gt;<br /> E-mail: slinnell@bmsworldmission.org &lt;br&gt;<br /> [http://www.bmsworldmission.org BMS World Mission website]<br /> <br /> Initially consult [http://www.baptisthistory.org.uk/basicpage.php?contents=familyHistory&amp;page_title=Family%20HistoryBaptist Historical Society website]: <br /> <br /> Main Archive (Angus Library) is at: &lt;br&gt;<br /> Centre for Baptist History &lt;br&gt;<br /> Regent’s Park College &lt;br&gt;<br /> Pusey Lane &lt;br&gt;<br /> Oxford &lt;br&gt;<br /> OX1 2LB &lt;br&gt;<br /> Tel: (01865) 288142 &lt;br&gt;<br /> Archivist: julian.lock@regents.ox.ac.uk &lt;br&gt;<br /> [http://www.rpc.ox.ac.uk/index.php?pageid=16&amp;tln=ResourceCentres Centre for Baptist History and Heritage website] &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === Church Missionary Society (CMS) ===<br /> <br /> CMS &lt;br&gt;<br /> Watlington Road &lt;br&gt;<br /> Cowley &lt;br&gt;<br /> Oxford &lt;br&gt;<br /> OX4 6BZ &lt;br&gt;<br /> http://www.cms-uk.org &lt;br&gt;<br /> Tel: (01865) 787400; &lt;br&gt;<br /> Archivist E-mail: ken.osborne@cms-uk.org &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Main Archives''':&lt;br&gt;<br /> Special Collections &lt;br&gt;<br /> Main Library &lt;br&gt;<br /> University of Birmingham &lt;br&gt;<br /> Edgbaston &lt;br&gt;<br /> Birmingham &lt;br&gt;<br /> B15 2TT &lt;br&gt;<br /> Tel: (0121) 414 5838/39 &lt;br&gt;<br /> E-mail: s.j.worrall@bham.ac.uk<br /> <br /> '''Post-1960 Archives''': &lt;br&gt;<br /> Crowther Centre at CMS &lt;br&gt;<br /> Oxford &lt;br&gt;<br /> Tel: (01865) 787400.<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === Church of Scotland missions ===<br /> <br /> Foreign Mission Committee formed in 1824. &lt;br&gt;<br /> First missionary commissioned to India in 1829. &lt;br&gt;<br /> In 1843 the Church of Scotland missionaries in India, with once exception, broke away and joined the Free Church of Scotland. &lt;br&gt;<br /> In 1929 the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church of Scotland merged and records were consolidated.

<p>EleanorNeil: /* Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives */ mention of miss from America &amp; colonies</p> <hr /> <div>==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> == Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by European organisations, such as the [[German]] Lutherans or missionary societies from the United Kingdom. Of the latter, there was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. Smaller numbers of missionaries came from America and British colonies such as Australia and New Zealand. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept. Other Indian missionary sources which may provide useful background have been added.<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === Baptist Missionary Society ===<br /> <br /> Present title: “'''BMS World Mission'''” &lt;br&gt;<br /> PO Box 49 &lt;br&gt;<br /> 129 Broadway &lt;br&gt;<br /> Didcot &lt;br&gt;<br /> Oxon OX11 8XA &lt;br&gt;<br /> Tel: (01235) 517700 &lt;br&gt;<br /> Archives: Tel: (01235) 517626 &lt;br&gt;<br /> E-mail: slinnell@bmsworldmission.org &lt;br&gt;<br /> [http://www.bmsworldmission.org BMS World Mission website]<br /> <br /> Initially consult [http://www.baptisthistory.org.uk/basicpage.php?contents=familyHistory&amp;page_title=Family%20HistoryBaptist Historical Society website]: <br /> <br /> Main Archive (Angus Library) is at: &lt;br&gt;<br /> Centre for Baptist History &lt;br&gt;<br /> Regent’s Park College &lt;br&gt;<br /> Pusey Lane &lt;br&gt;<br /> Oxford &lt;br&gt;<br /> OX1 2LB &lt;br&gt;<br /> Tel: (01865) 288142 &lt;br&gt;<br /> Archivist: julian.lock@regents.ox.ac.uk &lt;br&gt;<br /> [http://www.rpc.ox.ac.uk/index.php?pageid=16&amp;tln=ResourceCentres Centre for Baptist History and Heritage website] &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === Church Missionary Society (CMS) ===<br /> <br /> CMS &lt;br&gt;<br /> Watlington Road &lt;br&gt;<br /> Cowley &lt;br&gt;<br /> Oxford &lt;br&gt;<br /> OX4 6BZ &lt;br&gt;<br /> http://www.cms-uk.org &lt;br&gt;<br /> Tel: (01865) 787400; &lt;br&gt;<br /> Archivist E-mail: ken.osborne@cms-uk.org &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Main Archives''':&lt;br&gt;<br /> Special Collections &lt;br&gt;<br /> Main Library &lt;br&gt;<br /> University of Birmingham &lt;br&gt;<br /> Edgbaston &lt;br&gt;<br /> Birmingham &lt;br&gt;<br /> B15 2TT &lt;br&gt;<br /> Tel: (0121) 414 5838/39 &lt;br&gt;<br /> E-mail: s.j.worrall@bham.ac.uk<br /> <br /> '''Post-1960 Archives''': &lt;br&gt;<br /> Crowther Centre at CMS &lt;br&gt;<br /> Oxford &lt;br&gt;<br /> Tel: (01865) 787400.<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === Church of Scotland missions ===<br /> <br /> Foreign Mission Committee formed in 1824. &lt;br&gt;<br /> First missionary commissioned to India in 1829. &lt;br&gt;<br /> In 1843 the Church of Scotland missionaries in India, with once exception, broke away and joined the Free Church of Scotland. &lt;br&gt;<br /> In 1929 the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church of Scotland merged and records were consolidated.

<p>EleanorNeil: /* Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG) */</p> <hr /> <div>==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> == Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by European organisations, such as the [[German]] Lutherans or missionary societies from the United Kingdom. Of the latter, there was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept.

<p>EleanorNeil: /* Santal Mission */</p> <hr /> <div>==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> == Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by European organisations, such as the [[German]] Lutherans or missionary societies from the United Kingdom. Of the latter, there was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept.

<p>EleanorNeil: /* Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG) */</p> <hr /> <div>==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> == Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by European organisations, such as the [[German]] Lutherans or missionary societies from the United Kingdom. Of the latter, there was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept.

<p>EleanorNeil: /* Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (SPG) */</p> <hr /> <div>==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> == Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by European organisations, such as the [[German]] Lutherans or missionary societies from the United Kingdom. Of the latter, there was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept. Other Indian missionary sources which may provide useful background have been added.<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === Baptist Missionary Society ===<br /> <br /> Present title: “'''BMS World Mission'''” &lt;br&gt;<br /> PO Box 49 &lt;br&gt;<br /> 129 Broadway &lt;br&gt;<br /> Didcot &lt;br&gt;<br /> Oxon OX11 8XA &lt;br&gt;<br /> Tel: (01235) 517700 &lt;br&gt;<br /> Archives: Tel: (01235) 517626 &lt;br&gt;<br /> E-mail: slinnell@bmsworldmission.org &lt;br&gt;<br /> [http://www.bmsworldmission.org BMS World Mission website]<br /> <br /> Initially consult [http://www.baptisthistory.org.uk/basicpage.php?contents=familyHistory&amp;page_title=Family%20HistoryBaptist Historical Society website]: <br /> <br /> Main Archive (Angus Library) is at: &lt;br&gt;<br /> Centre for Baptist History &lt;br&gt;<br /> Regent’s Park College &lt;br&gt;<br /> Pusey Lane &lt;br&gt;<br /> Oxford &lt;br&gt;<br /> OX1 2LB &lt;br&gt;<br /> Tel: (01865) 288142 &lt;br&gt;<br /> Archivist: julian.lock@regents.ox.ac.uk &lt;br&gt;<br /> [http://www.rpc.ox.ac.uk/index.php?pageid=16&amp;tln=ResourceCentres Centre for Baptist History and Heritage website] &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === Church Missionary Society (CMS) ===<br /> <br /> CMS &lt;br&gt;<br /> Watlington Road &lt;br&gt;<br /> Cowley &lt;br&gt;<br /> Oxford &lt;br&gt;<br /> OX4 6BZ &lt;br&gt;<br /> http://www.cms-uk.org &lt;br&gt;<br /> Tel: (01865) 787400; &lt;br&gt;<br /> Archivist E-mail: ken.osborne@cms-uk.org &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Main Archives''':&lt;br&gt;<br /> Special Collections &lt;br&gt;<br /> Main Library &lt;br&gt;<br /> University of Birmingham &lt;br&gt;<br /> Edgbaston &lt;br&gt;<br /> Birmingham &lt;br&gt;<br /> B15 2TT &lt;br&gt;<br /> Tel: (0121) 414 5838/39 &lt;br&gt;<br /> E-mail: s.j.worrall@bham.ac.uk<br /> <br /> '''Post-1960 Archives''': &lt;br&gt;<br /> Crowther Centre at CMS &lt;br&gt;<br /> Oxford &lt;br&gt;<br /> Tel: (01865) 787400.<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> === Church of Scotland missions ===<br /> <br /> Foreign Mission Committee formed in 1824. &lt;br&gt;<br /> First missionary commissioned to India in 1829. &lt;br&gt;<br /> In 1843 the Church of Scotland missionaries in India, with once exception, broke away and joined the Free Church of Scotland. &lt;br&gt;<br /> In 1929 the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church of Scotland merged and records were consolidated.

<p>EleanorNeil: /* Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (SPG) */ two sources of info added</p> <hr /> <div>==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> == Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by European organisations, such as the [[German]] Lutherans or missionary societies from the United Kingdom. Of the latter, there was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society. The structures of societies differ widely, but most have an archivist, and he/she may be a useful first contact. Below are details of some of these, giving for each its current name and location and where its archives are kept.

<p>EleanorNeil: /* Church of Scotland missions */ book reference</p> <hr /> <div>==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> == Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by European organisations, such as the [[German]] Lutherans or missionary societies from the United Kingdom. Of the latter, there was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society.

<p>EleanorNeil: /* Missionary Societies of the 19th Century in India and their archives */ title changed to more acurately reflect contents</p> <hr /> <div>==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> == Protestant Missionary Societies in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by European organisations, such as the [[German]] Lutherans or missionary societies from the United Kingdom. Of the latter, there was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society.

<p>EleanorNeil: /* Scottish Churches Mission */ added another mission</p> <hr /> <div>==The first Englishman in India==<br /> <br /> The Jesuit '''missionary''', Father Thomas Stevens, or Stephens, (c1549-1619) has been generally accepted as the first Englishman to arrive in India. He had studied in Rome and, having sailed on a [[Portuguese]] ship, settled in [[Goa]] 1579. There he learned the local languages and taught Christian doctrine to the local people. <br /> <br /> As his father was a prominent merchant in London the information he sent home no doubt generated a lot of interest and raised awareness of the trading advantages in the East. In fact, it was not that long after, in 1600, that the Queen eventually granted a charter to the [[East India Company]]. <br /> <br /> Moreover it is also documented that in 1583 Stevens sent a letter in Latin to his brother in Paris which described his missionary methods. He lived in Goa for over 40 years producing works in local languages . His masterpiece was the Christian Purana , an epic poem based on the life of Jesus, written in the local Konkani dialect of Marathi. This was all the more ingenious as he had to adapt European script to embrace Indian language.<br /> <br /> ==Charter Act 1813==<br /> Missionary activity in the areas of India controlled by the East India Company was finally permitted with the passing of the Charter Act 1813, sometimes called the East India Company Act 1813, as described from page 75 of [http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924022922482#page/n85/mode/2up The government of India; a brief historical survey of parliamentary legislation relating to India] by Sir Courtenay Ilbert 1922 Archive.org. Before that it had been forbidden by the EIC, who did not wish to wish to interfere with the religious convictions of the Indians in case the Company’s trade was jeopardised.<br /> <br /> Prior to 1813 the most significant European Protestant missionary activity had occurred in the [[Danish]] enclaves at Tranquebar and Serampore.<br /> <br /> == Missionary Societies of the 19th Century in India and their archives ==<br /> <br /> Christian missionaries were usually sponsored in India by European organisations, such as the [[German]] Lutherans or missionary societies from the United Kingdom. Of the latter, there was a wide variety from non-denominational through to Scottish Presbyterians, the Church of England societies, the Baptists, and those who now come under the United Reform Church. The archives of these missionary bodies, often rich sources of names, careers, family details and correspondence, are accessible but variously held in libraries or other repositories depending on the society.
