I have the following info from zfamily Search on the death and burial in India if my Great Grand Uncle Henry Moorsom Pickhills.
birth: 1841
death: 08 Apr 1866
burial: 09 Apr 1866 Calcutta, Bengal, India
He enlisted on HMS Hastings at Liverpool on 14 October 1857
I was hoping someone could tell me how to find out his cause of death. I live in Australia.

His death is listed under Maritime deaths. Cause is listed as cholera. It looks as though he was aboard the ship Aracan.
