Charles Streatfeild James was born in 1859, the first son of Herbert Henderson James of the 10th Bombay Native Infantry. Charles’ grandfather, Charles Butler James went to Bombay as a cadet in 1802 and served with the Bombay Army until his retirement in 1853. Four of his sons and many of their offspring along with a variety of cousins all had India connections. Charles was educated at Trinity School Stratford-upon-Avon and then at Coopers Hill Engineering College from 1877 to 1879. He was appointed to the Indian Telegraph Department in January 1879 and spent his working life in the Department, retiring as Director of Telegraphs for Oude and Agra. He married Elizabeth (Bessie) Ellen Mackenzie (1st May 1886), daughter of Nicholas William Mackenzie, a banker. They had two children, Dorothy Place James (died young) and Ralph James DSO who died in 1916 at Morval on the Western Front. The photographs start in England around 1878 and then show Charles’ journey out to India via Palestine, Egypt and Colombo. Most are stock pictures, so he may not have visited Jerusalem. Then come a series of stock photos of Calcutta and some of railway bridges. He was based at Surat and Barrackpore where he met and married Bessie Mackenzie. The album has several photographs of prominent government buildings, local views and family and social events. 1877 College School Masters Stratford on Avon 188 hits 1877 probably - Major Oak (Notts) and Carshalton (Surrey) 300 hits 1877-8 VIth Form at Stratford or Coopers Hill students 274 hits 1879 Autumn Bridge north of Ratlam 215 hits 1879 Autumn Gungait Bridge 181 hits 1879 Autumn Melaine Bridge 163 hits 1879 Naini Bridge at Allahabad 217 hits 1879 Cairo general view 196 hits 1879 Calcutta Entrance to Govt House 203 hits 1879 Calcutta Govt House from the north 189 hits 1879 Calcutta Govt House from the south 216 hits 1879 Calcutta Museum 248 hits 1879 Calcutta Paper Currency Office 237 hits 1879 Calcutta Post Office etc 198 hits 1879 Calcutta St Pauls Cathedral 191 hits 1879 Calcutta Telegraph Office 1 192 hits 1879 Calcutta Telegraph Office 2 202 hits 1879 Calcutta Tipu Sultan Mosque 249 hits 1879 Calcutta looking north from Telegraph Office 220 hits 1879 Calcutta looking south from Telegraph Office 193 hits 1879 Colombo bazaar 178 hits 1879 Coopers Hill Chapel 128 hits 1879 Coopers Hill Engineering College 157 hits 1879 January Colombo Galle Face 170 hits 1879 January Colombo 171 hits 1879 January Colombo breakwater and double boat 163 hits 1879 January Colombo Buddhist temple 131 hits 1879 January Colombo looking towards Lighthouse 153 hits 1879 January Colombo-Kandy railway 157 hits 1879 January Egypt - Moses fountain 131 hits 1879 January Egypt - Port Said Breakwater and Lighthouse 169 hits 1879 January Egypt - Port Said 146 hits 1879 January Egypt - Sphinx and pyramid 154 hits 1879 January Egypt - Suez Canal map 158 hits 1879 January Egypt - Suez Canal 158 hits 1879 January Egypt - Suez scenes 162 hits 1879 January Jerusalem 147 hits 1882 Floods at Navsari 151 hits 1882 Surat Telegraph Office 148 hits 1886 Church at Serampore 278 hits 1886 Flag Staff from top of Govt House Barrackpore 172 hits 1886 Govt House Barrackpore from bridge 170 hits 1890 approx Mountain panorama 153 hits 1890 approx Road and village in the mountains 135 hits 1890 approx Road in the mountains 166 hits 1891 The Mackenzie Family 243 hits After 1886 Agra - CSJ at Taj Mahal 181 hits St Bartholomew's Church Barrackpore 148 hits Cricket XI 173 hits Government house location unknown 207 hits First \| Previous \| 1 2 \| Next \| Last
