*The [[Jewish]] Cemetery at 45 Narikeldanga Main Road
*5 [[Chinese]] Cemeteries
Burial grounds were also located at [[Dum Dum]], [[Barrackpore]], [[Serampore]], [[Chandernagore]], [[Chinsurah]], [[Bandel]] and [[Howrah]] (epitaphs from which are represented in ''The Bengal Obituary'' - see Notes below). Many maritime related burials took place at Howrah, where St Thomas's Church and Cemetery were established in 1833.
==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 (e.g. the ship carrying the returns to England was lost). There are also some biographical details.
