What was life like for the British men, women, and children who lived in late imperial India while serving the Raj? Empire Families treats the Raj as a family affair and examines how, and why, many remained linked with India over several generations. Due to the fact that India was never meant for permanent European settlement, many families developed deep-rooted ties with India while never formally emigrating. Their lives were dominated by long periods of residence abroad punctuated by repeated travels between Britain and India: childhood overseas followed by separation from parents and education in Britain; adult returns to India through careers or marriage; furloughs, and ultimately retirement, in Britain. As a result, many Britons neither felt themselves to be rooted in India, nor felt completely at home when back in Britain. Their permanent impermanence led to the creation of distinct social realities and cultural identities. Empire Families sets out to recreate this society by looking at a series of families, their lives in India, and their travels back to Britain. Focusing for the first time on the experiences of parents and children alike, and including the Beveridge, Butler, Orwell, and Kipling families, Elizabeth Buettner uncovers the meanings of growing up in the Raj and an itinerant imperial lifestyle.

Tracing Your British Indian Ancestors gives a fascinating insight into the history of the subcontinent under British rule and into the lives the British led there. It also introduces the reader to the range of historical records that can be consulted in order to throw light on the experience of individuals who were connected to India over the centuries of British involvement in the country.Emma Jolly looks at every aspect of British Indian history and at all the relevant resources. She explains the information held in the British Library India Office Records and The National Archives. She also covers the records of the armed forces, the civil service and the railways, as well as religious and probate records, and other sources available for researchers. At the same time, she provides a concise and vivid social history of the British in India: from the early days of the East India Company, through the Mutiny and the imposition of direct British rule in the mid-nineteenth century, to the independence movement and the last days of the Raj. Her book will help family historians put their research into an historical perspective, giving them a better understanding of the part their ancestors played in India in the past.

This book analyses the dynamics of the development of family structure in India over the past few decades. It captures the diversities and challenges of contemporary families and provides a culture and region-specific overview of how families adapt and change generationally. The book explores the paradigms of understanding family life in India through illustrations which trace patterns of family formations in the context of large-scale social, economic and media-driven changes. Besides discussing the ongoing debates on the sociology of family, the chapters in this volume also look at diverse families experiencing poverty, conflict and displacement and demystifies families with members having a disability or non-normative sexual orientation. The book will be useful to students and researchers of various disciplines, such as sociology, social work, family studies, women’s studies and anthropology.

This book describes incidents in the lives of many of the European and Anglo-Indian families who lived in Lucknow during the "British Raj" period (1858 to 1947) when India was directly ruled by the British Government after the East India Company was disbanded. The city of Lucknow became famous during the rebellion of 1857 for the long-lasting siege of the Residency, which led to massive destruction of parts of the city after its re-capture by the British. The European and Anglo-indian families who lived through this event generally suffered great hardship in rebuilding their lives. The author has found many examples of their subsequent claims for "succour," pensions and compensation for property lost, often with graphic descriptions of their experiences. The book includes newspaper reports of living conditions in Lucknow in 1859 & 1867 and "letters home" from a young army officer living in cantonments in the late 1860's. Carefully chosen letters, memoirs and articles by civil servants, police and army officers and a young lady give a vivid impression of life in Lucknow from the 1890s up to the war years, including entertainment in the various theatres. A medical officer also describes the preparations made to receive great numbers of sick and wounded men in temporary hospitals following the defeat of the British army in Burma in 1942.For those Europeans whose families lived in Lucknow during the Raj period, this book gives a good flavour of their lives and in many cases records actual details of their ancestors' lives. For those whose families are not directly mentioned in the text, there is a large appendix, based on Indian directories, which gives employment details of over 4,750 individuals at Lucknow.The following is a review of the book by the well-known author of books about Lucknow, Dr. Rosie Llewellyn-Jones:'For anyone interested in the history of Lucknow, that fascinating city in north India, this is an important book. The author, who is related to many of its prominent Anglo-Indian families, has carefully traced what happened to these same families after the cataclysm of the Indian 'Mutiny' and how they began to rebuild their shattered lives. A vivid picture of Lucknow during the British Raj emerges, with anecdotes, petitions, diaries and newspaper reports, each presented in a lively and readable manner. I think people will enjoy this.'

The Life of Margaret Alice Murray: A Woman’s Work in Archaeology is the first book-length biography of Margaret Alice Murray (1863–1963), one of the first women to practice archeology. Despite Murray’s numerous professional successes, her career has received little attention because she has been overshadowed by her mentor, Sir Flinders Petrie. This oversight has obscured the significance of her career including her fieldwork, the students she trained, her administration of the pioneering Egyptology Department at University College London (UCL), and her published works. Rather than focusing on Murray’s involvement in Petrie’s archaeological program, Kathleen L. Sheppard treats Murray as a practicing scientist with theories, ideas, and accomplishments of her own. This book analyzes the life and career of Margaret Alice Murray as a teacher, excavator, scholar, and popularizer of Egyptology, archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, and more. Sheppard also analyzes areas outside of Murray’s archaeology career, including her involvement in the suffrage movement, her work in folklore and witchcraft studies, and her life after her official retirement from UCL.

The East India Company at Home, 1757–1857 explores how empire in Asia shaped British country houses, their interiors and the lives of their residents. It includes chapters from researchers based in a wide range of settings such as archives and libraries, museums, heritage organisations, the community of family historians and universities. It moves beyond conventional academic narratives and makes an important contribution to ongoing debates around how empire impacted Britain. The volume focuses on the propertied families of the East India Company at the height of Company rule. From the Battle of Plassey in 1757 to the outbreak of the Indian Uprising in 1857, objects, people and wealth flowed to Britain from Asia. As men in Company service increasingly shifted their activities from trade to military expansion and political administration, a new population of civil servants, army officers, surveyors and surgeons journeyed to India to make their fortunes. These Company men and their families acquired wealth, tastes and identities in India, which travelled home with them to Britain. Their stories, the biographies of their Indian possessions and the narratives of the stately homes in Britain that came to house them, frame our explorations of imperial culture and its British legacies.
