In Lucknow, as in other parts of the world, graves mean little to some people, but a search on the internet proves otherwise! What one will find on this blog isn't even 'a drop in the vast ocean' of tears that would have been shed if it were possible to calculate. The names, the sad poetry, quotes and expression of grief of the loved ones all being ground to dust. "...We always say that the history of a parish is in its graveyards..." Passage West (from a blog and book by Jim Murphy)

And a gentle guiding hand
Both as a mother and a friend
To care and understand
No wonder that we loved you
And will miss you till the end."

Is this `Granny' Larkins, grandmother of Bob Jordan, Tessa Dignum and Jillian Larkins? The dates seem right.

Yes, thanks to your cross-referencing system, I see she is who I thought she was. Come to think of it, I was at her funeral.
