Timeline
	William Lindsay
Birth	Tuesday, 3 August 1847 as a British Subject, in Benares, Cawnpore, Bengal, India
	registered in Civil Service Evidence of Age
"At Benares, on the 3rd August, the lady of captain W. Lindsay, of a son and heir" - The Daily News, Monday, 4 October 1847.
	Cannot be found on the 1851 census return. Presumed in the East Indies. His father, Major William Bayford Lindsay, is still serving in the army. In 1857, William is placed on the Bengal Military Orphan Society lists of orphans, after his father and mother, Lillias (née Don) both died on 10 and 15 June 1857.
THE INDIAN REVOLT. MASSACRE AT CAWNPORE. "The correspondent of the Morning Post gives a still more detailed and more gloomy account of the incidents:― "Sir Hugh Wheeler, with the whole of the garrison of Cawnpore, had been massacred. The miscreant Nena Sahib murdered 240 women and children. The following are amongst the killed: Brigadier Yack, Colonel Williams, Lindsay, Prout, Sir George Parker, Quin, Redman, Supple, Halliday, Reynolds, Prole, Smith, Eckford, Dempster, Jervis, and Challwin. General Havelock has since fought three battles with Nena Sahib, and always defeated him, taking from him in the field 11 guns, recapturing Cawnpore, and taking 26 more." - Birmingham Journal, Saturday, 29 August 1857. "The Bengal Hurkaru states that the victims of the Cawnpore Massacre were confined in the Assembly Rooms up to the 15th, where they were comparatively well treated. They were then taken to the little house where the unfortunate men who were taken from the boats had been previously murdered, and where they could have had no doubt of their impending fate. A note was found, written in Hindee, containing the names of all the ladies who died between the 7th and 15th instant, from what are described as natural causes. The list appears to have been kept by a native doctor and deducting the names which it contains, it appears that 197 persons were massacred on the evening of the 15th. "The names were not easy to make out, but they are something like the following: 10th.―Miss Lindsay, cholera; 12th.―Mrs. Lindsay, wound in the back. The building in which the massacre took place is described as looking like a slaughter-house. The following extracts from a letter from 'the only individual saved' contain the only authentic details yet received of the first fearful massacre that took place there:― "...were all most inhumanly butchered by the cruel insurgents on the day before yesterday, and thrown into a well, together with a great number of ladies and children, reported to be about 150 in number. I am distracted. I am most miserable and wretched." - Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard, 26 September 1857
