G'Day Gerald,

According to the LDS Locality Catalogue for Calcutta, it appears there
is only the one listing - Calcutta - Mayor's Court - Court Proceedings,
includes wills, inventories, accounts, petitions, etc....... for the
years 1727-1774.

The only other falls outside of the date range you were after :-
District Courts - Grants of Probates or Administration 1865-1936. This
applies to all persons of European extraction whether British subjects
or not, throughout present day India, Bangladesh and parts of Pakistan.

I have a copy of the LDS Locality Catalogue for India. If anyone wants
anything looked up, please email me.

Regards from Andrea.
