Burial grounds also at [[Dum Dum]], [[Barrackpore]], [[Serampore]], [[Chandernagore]], [[Chinsurah]], [[Bandel]] and [[Howrah]] (epitaphs from which are represented in 'The Bengal Obituary').
==Records==
''Bengal Past and Present: Journal of the Calcutta Historical Society'', available at the [[British Library]] has a list of burials based on the original registers in Calcutta, by Rev W. K. Firminger. They are probably mostly covered by the Ecclesiastical Returns in the B.L., however there may be some additional entries which never made it to England (perhaps the ship carrying the returns to England may have sunk). There are also some biographical details.
*burials 1759-1761 Volume 5 (Jan-June 1910)
*burials 1762-1774 Volume 6 (July-Dec 1910) pages 92-126.
