| older? (Navy says George was born 1890) Nana says that he always used to make her and her sisters polish the brass stair rails (that hold the carpet on the steps) when they used to visit. Nainital Placed around a picturesque lake, Nayana Tal, at a height of 1940 m above sea level, is one of the most sought after hill resorts in India, Nainital. Encircled by seven hills, this resort was the erstwhile summer capital of the Uttar Pradesh government. It was, only in 1839, that the lake and its surrounding area was discovered by an English traveller. The Kumaon Hills came under British rule after the Anglo-Nepalese War (1814-16), but the hill station town of Naini Tal was founded only in 1841, with the construction of the first European house by P. Barron, a sugar trader from Shahjahanpur. Before long there was an army cantonment, a church, a hospital and a club house. Soon, the town became a health resort favoured both by British soldiers and by colonial officials and their families trying to escape the heat of the plains. The holiday bungalows became a permanent township. The town centered round a level stretch called the "Flats" which served as a parade ground. The Sunday morning congregation gathered there after church with the military band entertaining the residents and visitors in the evening. Later, the town also became the summer residence of the Governor of the United Provinces. In the latter half of the 19th century a number of "European" schools for boys and girls were founded in Nainital. During the Victorian and Edwardian eras, students in these schools consisted largely of children of British colonial officials or soldiers. In 1906, for example, there were over half a dozen such schools, including the Diocesan Boys' School (later renamed Sherwood College) under the guidance of the Church of England; Philander Smith's College, maintained by an American Mission; St. Joseph's College a Roman Catholic institution, Wellesley School and American institution; St. Mary's Convent High School, a Roman Catholic institution; All Saints Diocesan High School for Girls, under the Church of England, and Petersfield College for Girls.

The returns were transmitted by chaplains and ministers to the Government of India, and thence to the India Office, primarily for record purposes. Apart from the series for the three Indian presidencies (Bengal 1713-1948; Madras 1698-1948, and Bombay, 1709-1948), there are returns for St Helena (1767-1835), Fort Marlborough (1759-1825), Penang (1799-1829), Macao and Whampoa (1820-1833), Burma (1937-1957), India and Pakistan (1949-1968), Kuwait (1937-1961), and Aden (1840-1969).
