===Other Recordsrecords===
''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, two articles written 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.
