On the 30^th of June, the inhabitants within the Residency numbered 2’994 persons, of which 1720 were officers, British and Indian troops, and civilian volunteers. 237 women, 260 children, 50 boys from La Martiniere College, 27 non-combatant Europeans and 700 Indian civilians made up the rest. Of the original garrison, on the 17th of November, not more than 930 were left. The following are lists pertaining to the original garrison and do not mention the men who arrived with the relief of Sir Henry Havelock in September.

A Civilian in the Mutiny

In the preceding lists, I have compiled the names of the people present during the siege of Lucknow. They have been compiled using the following books:

A Personal Journal of Siege of Lucknow. Capt. R.P. Anderson, 1858.
A Widow’s Reminiscence of the Siege of Lucknow. Katherine Bartrum, 1858.
Day by Day at Lucknow, a Journal of the Siege of Lucknow. Adelaide Case, 1858.
Recollections of My Life. Surgeon-General Sir Joseph Fayrer, Bart. 1900.
An Account of Mutinies in Oude and the Siege of Lucknow. Martin Richard Gubbins, 1858.
The Siege of Lucknow, a Diary. The Honourable Lady Inglis. 1892.
How I Won the Victoria Cross. T. Henry Kavanagh, Esq. 1860.
A Memoir, Letters and Diary of the Rev.Henry S. Polehampton, MA. 2nd Edition, 1858.
Recollections of a Lucknow Veteran. Major General J. Ruggles, 1902.
A Personal Narrative of the Siege of Lucknow. L.E. Ruutz Rees, 1858.
The Defence of Lucknow. By a Staff Officer (Wilson), 1858.  

Compiling such a list is, at best, somewhat rule of thumb. I have tried to be as accurate as possible regarding the spelling of names and included, in some cases, children who were not otherwise mentioned elsewhere. When possible, I have added Christian names, a date of death and any other details available.  “Faces of the Mutiny” are longer articles with available pictures of those who were at the Residency. “A Civilian in the Mutiny” recounts that intrepid man, Lucknow Kavanagh and his overriding desire to win glory.

As an added bonus, there are two old films which might be of interest.
