Kitty Kirkpatrick
Katherine Aurora "Kitty" Kirkpatrick (9 April 1802 – 1889) was born in India to James Achilles Kirkpatrick, British Resident in Hyderabad (1798–1805), and Khair-un-Nissa, a Hyderabadi noblewoman, but lived most of her life in England. She was for a few years the love interest of the Scottish writer and philosopher Thomas Carlyle.
== Early life in India ==
Kitty Kirkpatrick was born Noor un-Nissa, Sahib Begum, at Hyderabad. In 1805, the year of her father's death, she and her elder brother Mir Ghulam Ali, Sahib Allum, were sent to live with their grandfather Colonel James Kirkpatrick, in London and Keston, Kent, leaving their mother in India.
Although brought up as Muslims, the two children were baptised on 25 March 1805 at St. Mary’s Church, Marylebone Road, and were thereafter known by their new Christian names, William George Kirkpatrick and Katherine Aurora "Kitty" Kirkpatrick.〔(White mischief ) - The Guardian, December 9, 2002〕 William was disabled in 1812 after falling into boiling water and had to have an arm amputated; he married and had three children but died in 1828 aged 27.
Kitty was "brought up as a Victorian lady – grew into a famous beauty, () () immortalised by Thomas Carlyle in his novel ''Sartor Resartus''".〔(Anthony Gardner: Author and Journalist - Interviews (Tatler, 2002) )〕 It is believed that she was the inspiration for the Calypso-like Blumine, one of the characters of Carlyle's book.〔(Colonial Grandeur ) - The Hindu, February 27, 2005〕
