Hello, found your Lucknow list interesting.
Dr Brydon's wife Mrs C M Brydon kept a Journal/Diary which was not published but there were approx 50 typescript copies edited by a Major C W del fforde issued in 1977.There are numbers of people mentioned and an index of their names. The British Library may have a copy.
Re Bonham 2nd Lieutenant Artillery. He was John Bonham 1834-1928 of Ballintaggart Co Kildare retired in 1874 as a Colonel and died in 1928, the last surviving officer from the siege.
Regards
David Howell

Thank you for your comment!
Unfortunately for me, I live in Switzerland and have no access from here to the British Library. Perhaps one day, on a visit to the U.K. I will be able to see the document you mention.
I will add your information regarding John Bonham, to my list.

Thanks again!
Best wishes, Eva
