| | Surname | Dyce | | | First Names | G A D | | | Place | Calcutta  | | | Year | 1838 | | | Month | April | | | Day | 4 | | | Entry | DYCE � At Calcutta, of cholera, Colonel G A D Dyce. We have to announce the death this day (says the Englishman, April 5th) of Colonel Dyce, the father of Mr Dyce Sombre. Thursday April 5th � Colonel Dyce, the father of Mr Dyce Sombre, died last night of cholera. The career of this gentleman offers another among the many instances of men raising themselves from a humble sphere to one of comparative rank and influence, by dint of enterprize and a judicious selection of opportunities for advancement in the world. Reared in the Orphan School, Kidderpore, Mr Dyce was at an early period of the present century bound apprentice to a trading establishment at Dinapore, on the dissolution of which he turned his steps to the Upper Provinces, and finally became a favourite with the late Begum of Sirdanah, to one of whose adopted daughters he was married. | | | Edition Year | 1838 | | | Edition Date | Vol II, No VII, July 1838 |
