Mr. E. Thurston, C.L.E.
We regret to record the death of Mr. Edgar Thurston, formerly superintendent of the Government Museum, Madras, which took place at Penzance on October 5 at the age of eighty years. Edgar Thurston, the second son of Charles Bosworth Thurston, was born at Kew and educated at Eton and the medical school of King's College, London, qualifying as L.R.C.P. in 1877. He was appointed superintendent of the Government Museum, Madras, in 1885, retaining that position until his retirement just under twenty-five years later, when he was made C.I.E. He had already received the award of the Kaisar-i-Hind gold medal in 1902. After his retirement he returned to England, andcontinued to devote himself to research.
Does anyone on the list have any info about Edgar Thurston, the museologist and ethnographer? He wrote extensively on tribes and castes in India in the late 1800s. I know that he was born in July 1855 (probably in England, perhaps Eton in Buckinghamshire) and was the son of Charles Bosworth Thurston and Georgiana Robins. He is a distant cousin through his mother.
I have a record including photo of the grave in the old burial ground at Richmond, Surrey, of Charles Bosworth Thurston his widow Georgina, nee Robins, and his son Frank and daughter Alice Gertrude.
