Biography* Roy Culpeper, of Canada, has provided the following account of his family (Nov 1998):

My branch of the family migrated to India probably in the mid 18th century with the East India Company. I suspect they settled in Madras and migrated up the east coast. My great-grandfather Charles Israel Culpeper and his son, my grandfather Ernest, were both born in Orissa. My grandfather moved to Karachi when a young man and married my grandmother Helen. Papa Ernie died in 1976 and my grandmother in 1983. My father Ronald was born in Karachi in 1920, married my mother Audrey in 1946, and they had two sons -- I was born in 1947 and my brother Paul in 1953. By then my family had left Pakistan, moving first to England and then (1959) to Toronto, Canada, where I grew up.

In December 1999, Roy added the follwoing additional information:

I remember my grandfather (Ernest, born in Orissa 1896) tracing his genealogy back to an Edmund Culpeper, who arrived in India with Clive's army and who married a native Indian woman -- I think her name was Joanna. I cannot say whether this is true or not -- my grandfather obtained this informmation from a geneologist in England in the 1960s.
If his information is true, my ancestors subsequently settled in Madras in the late 1700s and subsequent generations migrated northeastwards up the coast to Orissa (a town called Gopalpur-on-sea). I know that some of my relatives are still in Orissa and Calcutta to this day -- I met them in the 1970s when I went to India to do research for my doctoral dissertation.
