Cemeteries
This cemetery was open 1781-1865 and up to 1846 was known as the Officers’ Burial Ground, as mainly military officers and their families were buried there. It became known as Kacheri Cemetery in 1857. [[Cemeteries#Inscriptions in online books|Blunt]] has some entries under Kachahri Cemetery. Private soldiers were buried at Hiramun-Ku –Purwa (open 1796-1818). The New Cantonment Cemetery was open 1818-1943.<ref>[http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:Ij5dojANAG0J:www.rcueslko.org/jnnurm/Kanpur/10%2520Chapter%252010%2520Heritage%2520and%2520Tourism.pdf+Kacheri+Cemetery&hl=en&gl=au&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESiaO2TnCC6QoI29ymzo1XEalKdCKMMGUXKt3NI2AH-ucD1I2SpIXGzYLPpMz4n8THV71O5FMeuAh6Uwa3-UT_-D_668Te91A7L3tuaJm8iAcyu1pINievxjno5bBLVK0RT3V5dP&sig=AHIEtbRdkoY_o3LJAPK55CJVt3yhqTJZfA Kanpur Heritage and Tourism], page 4 and details from BACSA Archive at the British Library, Mss F370.</ref>

At least some of these entries may be found in the [http://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&id=973&s_id=294 FIBIS database: Percy-Smith/Bullock papers: Graves and Monuments]
**Volume1 1906 contains entries and is available at the [[British Library]]. Volume 2 1908 Archive.org [http://www.archive.org/stream/miscellaneagenea02bann#page/20/mode/2up Page 21], [http://www.archive.org/stream/miscellaneagenea02bann#page/60/mode/2up/search page 61], [http://www.archive.org/stream/miscellaneagenea02bann#page/138/mode/2up/search page 138], [http://www.archive.org/stream/miscellaneagenea02bann#page/164/mode/2up/search page 164].

The last entry of data states "To be continued" so it appears there is more data probably in ''Miscellanea Genealogica Et Heraldica:Fourth Series, Volume 3,'', and perhaps even additional volumes, available at the [[British Library]]
