John Hindmarsh

I have since found out that John Hindmarsh was drowned in the Ganges on 2nd Sept 1839, when a boat capsized and he was apparently dragged under by a crocodile. He was postmaster at Diamond Harbour Calcutta at the time, having retired as a Captain of a merchant ship. He married Caroline Jones on 16.12.1834 in Calcutta.
He was the eldest son of Ralph and Sarah Hindmarsh, Newcastle on Tyne
