[1037] Family Histories: The Fimister Family

Thumbnail for project: Family Histories: The Fimister Family

In 1909, Mary Ann Fimister (nee Kelly) travelled to Kolkata (then Calcutta) to visit her husband, James, who worked in India as a jute salesman. Her children remained at home in Broughty Ferry near Dundee. Shortly after arriving in the sub-continent, she contracted smallpox and died. She was buried in The Scottish Cemetery. Just over one hundred years later, Mary Ann's great-grandson, Gerald Main, travelled to Kolkata with his son, Richard, to find her grave.

This project looks at a selection of photographs and documents relating to Mary Ann Fimister and the family history research carried out by her ancestors in Kolkata.

[1035] The Scottish Cemetery in Calcutta | part 2

Thumbnail for project: The Scottish Cemetery in Calcutta | part 2

The Scottish and Dissenters Cemetery was established in 1820 to cater to the needs of the large Scottish population in Calcutta (now Kolkata). Scots were involved in thriving enterprises, including tea, jute, paper and transportation. Many performed administrative or military function within the East India Company and, later, the British Raj, whose capital was here. For those Scots living in India there was the constant threat of illness and diseases, such as cholera, diphtheria, typhoid and malaria and the rate of infant mortality was extremely high.

Over ninety percent of those buried in the cemetery bear names of Scots origin, such as Anderson, McGregor, Campbell and Ross. Around ten percent are Bengali. Many of the gravestones are carved from Scottish sandstone or granite and still bear inscriptions of the monumental masons who made them, indicating that almost all of them would have been made in Scotland and transported to Kolkata for use. The cemetery was abandoned in the 1950s, following India's independence.

The cemetery was surveyed and recorded by a team from the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland in 2008. These photographs show some of that work being undertaken. There are also photographs from St Andrew's Church, which adjoins the cemetery, and of memorials inside the church which are dedicated to many Scots who lived and worked in India.

Part two of this project gathers together images of gravestones in the cemetery.
