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 177 hits 1877 probably - Major Oak (Notts) and Carshalton (Surrey) 288 hits 1877-8 VIth Form at Stratford or Coopers Hill students 255 hits 1879 Autumn Bridge north of Ratlam 197 hits 1879 Autumn Gungait Bridge 163 hits 1879 Autumn Melaine Bridge 148 hits 1879 Naini Bridge at Allahabad 196 hits 1879 Cairo general view 178 hits 1879 Calcutta Entrance to Govt House 185 hits 1879 Calcutta Govt House from the north 165 hits 1879 Calcutta Govt House from the south 196 hits 1879 Calcutta Museum 230 hits 1879 Calcutta Paper Currency Office 215 hits 1879 Calcutta Post Office etc 175 hits 1879 Calcutta St Pauls Cathedral 176 hits 1879 Calcutta Telegraph Office 1 170 hits 1879 Calcutta Telegraph Office 2 176 hits 1879 Calcutta Tipu Sultan Mosque 231 hits 1879 Calcutta looking north from Telegraph Office 195 hits 1879 Calcutta looking south from Telegraph Office 177 hits 1879 Colombo bazaar 165 hits 1879 Coopers Hill Chapel 117 hits 1879 Coopers Hill Engineering College 145 hits 1879 January Colombo Galle Face 157 hits 1879 January Colombo 158 hits 1879 January Colombo breakwater and double boat 151 hits 1879 January Colombo Buddhist temple 117 hits 1879 January Colombo looking towards Lighthouse 138 hits 1879 January Colombo-Kandy railway 142 hits 1879 January Egypt - Moses fountain 119 hits 1879 January Egypt - Port Said Breakwater and Lighthouse 153 hits 1879 January Egypt - Port Said 133 hits 1879 January Egypt - Sphinx and pyramid 142 hits 1879 January Egypt - Suez Canal map 143 hits 1879 January Egypt - Suez Canal 145 hits 1879 January Egypt - Suez scenes 150 hits 1879 January Jerusalem 132 hits 1882 Floods at Navsari 130 hits 1882 Surat Telegraph Office 134 hits 1886 Church at Serampore 263 hits 1886 Flag Staff from top of Govt House Barrackpore 152 hits 1886 Govt House Barrackpore from bridge 155 hits 1890 approx Mountain panorama 135 hits 1890 approx Road and village in the mountains 118 hits 1890 approx Road in the mountains 148 hits 1891 The Mackenzie Family 225 hits After 1886 Agra - CSJ at Taj Mahal 164 hits St Bartholomew's Church Barrackpore 131 hits Cricket XI 158 hits Government house location unknown 190 hits First \| Previous \| 1 2 \| Next \| Last
