Managing proprietor of the large indigo concern of Kalna in Burdwan, including the Mirzapore Indigo Factory not far from Krishnaghur. Terminated his connection with the Kalna Concern, 1819, having, that year made 1,400 maunds of indigo. However, the principal proprietor of Kalna, Edward Majoribanks, was heavily involved [i.e., in debt], having mortgaged the property to Messrs. Fairlie Fergusson and Co. This misfortune was said to have hastened Bonnaud’s death, which occurred in 1821, at the age of 84 years. Left two sons by his second marriage, William and Peter. Louis’ wife died in 1860, aged 93 years.
