A Makepeace and the Black Hole of Calcutta
I've just heard that my g.g.grandfather, a British Makepeace, died at the so-called Black Hole of Calcutta. I've read that the initially reported event was perhaps not quite as dreadful as initially reported, nevertheless, it was horrible. Possibly my ancestor died during the fighting afterwards. Anyone any idea how to go about tracing and proving this family "legend"? Thanks, Jacqui (safe in New York City)
