Since I've completed El Concierto, I've gone ahead and started working on Nada Es Igual (which was released after El Concierto) on my sandbox. I already did a thorough search online for reviews, but could only find three available online. Much thanks in advance!

==The East India kalendar, or, Asiatic register (1800)==

{{tl|resolved}}

This is a very long-shot, I think. I now want ''The East India kalendar, or, Asiatic register'' (1800), p.172, for [[Caroline Eliza Richardson]]. It is in the same series as [https://books.google.ca/books?id=oUPcSAAACAAJ], and should not be confused with the [https://books.google.ca/books?id=WiEoAAAAYAAJ Asiatic Annual Register]. I can't find it on google, nor archive.org, nor Hathi. It may have an important bearing on our understanding of a) the correct name of Mrs. Richardson, and b) the date on which she travelled to India, both of which are open to some doubt. thanks --[[User:Tagishsimon|Tagishsimon]] [[User_talk:Tagishsimon|(talk)]] 05:32, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

:{{ping|Tagishsimon}} Believe it or not, I do have online access to <small>"The east India Kalendar; or, Asiatic register for Bengal, Madras, Bombay, Fort Marlborough, China, and St. Helena. For the Year 1800. on a more extensive plan than any hitherto offered to the public. Containing Complete and Correct lists of the Company's Civil Military, Marine, Law, and Revenue Establishments: Public Offices: Bankers: Greek, Armenian, Mogul, and Portuguese Merchants; Company's Agents at Home and Abroad: with A Correct list of British European Subjects residing in India, not in Company's Service, &c.,&c.,&c."</small>, 182 pages, a digitized version of a copy held at the British Libraries.

:Page 172 is part of "A List of Europeans not in the Service of the East India Company, but residing under their Protection, at Bombay and its Subordinates, or employed in Merchant Vessels belonging to the Port." The last name on the page is indeed "Richardfon Gilbert Geddes, mariner," (although the "Geddes" is indistinct; it looks like "Ci dd s") and the first name on p. 173 is "Richardfon, James Douglas, coroner and fcavenger".

:I can't provide pdfs at the moment, as the site is semi-broken and I can only navigate by changing the &pageIndex= parameter in the url directly. If anyone else wants to try, it's ESTC Number T032395 or Gale Document Number CW125886315 through GALE CENGAGE Learning's Eighteenth Century Collections Online database.

::To be clear, her own name does not appear, nor does any other woman's as far as I can see. Searching the database for "eliza richardson" brings up "Bailey's British directory; or, merchant's and trader's useful companion, for the year 1784, in four volumes", which I can't access because of the same bug—I'll try again later. Bibliographic info for that book:

::Thank you, {{u|FourViolas}}. That's very kind & good work, and I very much appreciate it. Drop the 1784 trade directory line: our subject would have been 7-years old. And I think you may have answered what can be answered from the Kalendar ... we now know what p.172 is showing, which is to do with Gilbert Geddes and not to do with Catherine Richardson. There were two questions to be answered: 1. was our subject called Caroline or Catherine. I think that's now decided as Catherine. 2. Did our subject really travel to India in 1799, meet and get married by end April? ODNB says so; I'm not convinced & think she may have travelled at an earlier age. I had hoped the Kalendar might show us a 'list of Brits new to india arriving in this year' ... now we know it is not doing so.

::Do you have access to the '''Asiatic Journal, 23 (1827), pp. 887–9''' ... I'd like to know what the ODNB found in that. Richardson was back in the UK, Gilbert was long dead, no book had being published by Catherine. I'm presuming it'll be something about [[David Lester Richardson]] and his furlough to the UK. The outstanding question there is, what is his relationship to Catherine. Son? Nephew? I don't think the source will help, but you never know. --[[User:Tagishsimon|Tagishsimon]] [[User_talk:Tagishsimon|(talk)]] 19:10, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

:::That one's [https://books.google.com/books?id=QBMoAAAAYAAJ&vq=richardson&hl=pt-BR&pg=PA888#v=onepage&q=richardson&f=false free on GB], and a Richardson and a Mrs. Richardson both departed from Bengal on the ''Robarts''.

::::Thanks. (Sorry; I'm a bit fried at this end...). So, Mrs. Richardson and Master Richardson ... that's not very helpful. Her kids had to be born by 1805/6, so the youngest would be say 21, and would not be listed amongst the Masters; and her direct India connection appears to end with her (undated) return after the 1805 death of Gilbert. Thus: very unclear a) who these Richardsons are and b) why ODNB reference the pages. Rhetorical question: are there passanger lists anywhere that throw light on Catherine Richardson travelling to India in or before 1799, and travelling back from 1805 onwards? The Asiatic Journal started in 1816 [http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php/Asiatic_Journal] so it's no help. Volume 1 of the Asiatic Annual Register lists the marriage [https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nyp.33433081882361;view=1up;seq=236 p.177]. ODNB lists Lloyds Shipping Lists, and I presume this is from where they've gleaned her movements. I'll mark this thread as done within 24 hours ... I think I may have taken up more than my fair share of Resource Request time and we probably should all move on to the next Woman in Red biography. It's really cheering to find people who'll dig out sources as you've done: very many thanks. --[[User:Tagishsimon|Tagishsimon]] [[User_talk:Tagishsimon|(talk)]] 20:11, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
