Notes
Pensioned Engineer — confirmed via Thacker's Indian Directory 1897 + cross-ref to #269 Cecilia Henrietta Wallace (his widow). Cause of death "Diabetes and Infraction of the Bowel" — confirmed at the register; previously flagged as uncertain. ("Infraction" is a Victorian-era medical term denoting rupture or break of an internal organ — possibly transcribable as "Inflammation" if the register hand is unclear, but the reading is "Infraction".)
