Detailed information:

Charles Robert Kiernander was born 5 Feb 1787, at Calcutta. He was christened 21 Sept 1787, at the Old Mission Church, Calcutta, by his grandfather the Reverend Missionary Johann Zachariah Kiernander (http://www.kiernander.com/kiernanders-church/), the founder of that church, who resided in India for sixty years. The Lutheran missionary often ministered to the Dutch at Chinsurah, and resided there from 1787-1795, when he was chaplain there.

Charles Robert Kiernander was for many years an interpreter and quartermaster to the 1st/11th Native Infantry, before his promotion to Captain in 1824. He was invalided in 1826, and died within the decade, shortly after his wife, Charlotte Ann Kiernander.

He is described as being of the 'invalid establishment'. He was one of the witnesses to the marriage of Charles Vernieux and Susan Matilda Godfrey.
