Mary Dize Wilkinson

1819–1823 (age 4)

Biography

Mary Dize Wilkinson was born in 1819 and lived during the height of British colonial rule in India. Though her life was extraordinarily brief, she was born into the established European community of Calcutta, which had by then become a major center of British power and influence in Asia.

Mary Dize Wilkinson lived only four years, passing away in 1823 at a tender age. Her short life and burial at South Park Street Cemetery reflect the vulnerabilities of childhood during the 19th century, even within the privileged circles of the colonial British community.
