    1. [S11] Personal Knowledge, Kathleen Oates.
      Served 14 years in the Hyderabad Contingent and 30 years in the Nizam's Army as a medical Officer.

    2. [S25] St Georges Church, Hyderabad Website, Kerry Edwards.
      Although they say he was a surveyor, they also say he 'served 14 years in the Hyderabad Contingent and 30 years in the Nizam's army as a medical officer', which is what Kathleen Oates says - they must have got this data from her via Kerry Edwards.

    3. [S9] Other Researchers - Arthur Mitchell.
      Served in the Hyderabad Contingent with Sir Hugh Rose's Column during the Sepoy Mutiny.

    4. [S16] Other Researchers - Charmaine Chamarette.
      Information from Henry Corfield.

    5. [S5] BMD - FindMyPast, p654.
      GRO Army Chaplains Birth Indices (1796 to 1880) - Army Returns to England - returned in 1830

    6. [S7] BMD - British Library.
      From baptism. It could be January, or July. Definitely not any other month. But given the date of his older brother's birth must be July. Thanks to Yasmin Chamarette for seeing this.

    7. [S7] BMD - British Library, N2 vol 12 p 95, Baptism.
      baptism by Kingsley(?) F J Dassah(?) Chaplain in Secunderabad - no church given.

    8. [S7] BMD - British Library, N2 vol 123 p129, Burial.
      Died of heart failure, aged 88. Was retired surgeon, HEH The Nizam's Artillery. Buried by G E Brown AC Chaplain at Bolarum(Cavalry Cemetary North Trimulgherry), Hyderabad Deccan, Secunderabad. No church given, though a different entry does, so perhaps army.

    10. [S9] Other Researchers - Arthur Mitchell.
      Handwritten document - see notes. His salary a year later was Rs 156-10-11 - no idea if this was good or bad.

    11. [S50] Bombay Almanac, 1857, from FIBIS website.
      1856 - At Lingasoor, Mr. J.E. Chamarette, to Miss W.U. Thompson, second daughter of Quarter Master W. Thompson, Artillery, Hyderabad Contingent.
      I can't find this marriage at the British Library. Lingsoogour is now Lingasagur, Raichur Doab, and is a fair distance west of Hyderabad. It would still have been in Hyderabad Deccan, so should be in N2. However I have searched marriages in all three districts from 1839 to 1860 and cannot find it. Can only assume the record was lost.
      Addendum:- the marriage certificate shows why I could not find the marriage. There was no clergyman available so they were married by the Deputy Commissioner of Lingsoogour

    12. [S25] St Georges Church, Hyderabad Website, Kerry Edwards, Gives the date and place.
