George Humphreyes

Biography

George Humphreyes was born in 1768, during the reign of King George III, at a time of significant imperial confidence and expansion. His life spanned the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Napoleonic Wars—some of the most consequential events in modern history. He lived through an era of considerable transformation in Britain and throughout the world, witnessing the rise and fall of revolutionary movements and the reshaping of global power.

Humphreyes passed away in 1816 at the age of 48, his death occurring just as the Napoleonic Wars were coming to their conclusion. His burial at South Park Street Cemetery in Calcutta reflects his connection to British India and the networks of commerce, administration, and military service that defined the British presence in the subcontinent. His grave stands as a testament to those who lived and worked during this pivotal period of history.
