Notes:

Norman Chamarette says that Edwin was the Chief Permanent Way Inspector of the State Railways in Hyderabad. They lived at a Railway House in Darmabad. Later (I'm not sure where this information came from) Edwin's Aunt Emily got him the job in Jamshedpur, as Superintendent of the Railways for Tata Steel.

Place name Kammamett
(1) In http://dsal.uchicago.edu/maps/gazetteer/index.html there's an old map showing Khammamet (I think) west of Secunderabad in the province (?) of Warangal.
(2) In http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~poyntz/India/maps.html#area Constables 1893 area maps there's an index of place names which gives a district and town of Kamamet (in Haid.)
In current day India I can find two possibilities -
(3) Kamarhati, but that is a suburb of Calcutta in West Bengal, which seems unlikely;
(4) Kamareddi, which is maybe 70 miles North of Secunderabad.


He left India in 1947 shortly after India was granted independence, though the older children had gone to England before the war. According to Florence they went to Newcastle because Winifred's husband Edward Davis came from there, and they had no other ties in England.

Edwin married Beryl Kathleen Chamarette on 23 Dec 1913 in Methodist Episcopal Church, Chaderghat, Hyderabad, India. Beryl (daughter of Arthur John Andrew Chamarette and Catherine Emma Combes) was born on 26 Jul 1888 in Hyderabad, India; was christened on 23 Aug 1889 in St George's Church, Chaderghat, Hyderabad, India; died on 30 Sep 1977 in "Coniston" Dunston Bank Gateshead, Newcastle-on-Tyne, England; was buried in All Saints Cemetery, Jesmond Rd, Newcastle-on-Tyne, England.

Other Events:

• Occupation: Household Surgeon, Afzul Gunj Hospital.; In Medical charge of HH the Nizam's 4th Infantry.

Notes:

On the web site for Osmania Medical College in Hyderabad, there is a bit of history. When it was Hyderabad Medical School, teaching in Urdu, in 1888 a Chloroform Commission was set up (with the Nizam's blessing) to study the effect of Chloroform on dogs.They did pioneer work, and one of the commission members was Mr A Chamarette. The leader of the commission was Dr Laurie.The Medical School was set up in 1846 by the Nizam, deliberately using Urdu to encourage native doctors, from the sound of it.
Since Arthur was Assistant Surgeon HH Nizam's service in 1887 when he married, this is almost certain to be him. He would have been 27 years old, so quite junior.
Arthur Mitchell (other researcher) confirms this.

I haven't been able to find his baptism - the date of birth is that given on the St Georges Church web site, and confirmed by his marriage certificate - he was 27 in 1887. Chadarghat is now Chadherghat (according to St Georges Church) and is in the cityof Hyderabad.

Norman Chamarette says he had a wonderful military funeral at Hyderabad.

Arthur married Catherine Emma Combes on 21 Dec 1887 in St George's Church, Chaderghat, Hyderabad, India. Catherine (daughter of John Gilbert Combes and Ruth Eliza Willamina Henrietta Bowen) was born on 12 Oct 1866 in Chaderghat, Hyderabad, India; was christened on 27 Dec 1866 in Chaderghat, Hyderabad, India; died on 29 Jun 1892 in Chaderghat, Hyderabad, India; was buried on 30 Jun 1892 in Chaderghat, Hyderabad, India.
