*''Bengal Past and Present: Journal of the Calcutta Historical Society'', available at the [[British Library]] has lists of baptisms, marriages and burials based on the original church registers in Calcutta, up to 1800. 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. Some of the lists are available online on the , see [[Online books#Digital Library Bengal, Past and Present, Journal of India| Digital Library of Indiathe Calcutta Historical Society]] websitefor online editions of the ''Journal''.
