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)
Thanks for posting images of this cemetery. My great-grandfather Matthew Ridley( d. 1904) is buried there. He was working as Superintendent of Parks and Gardens in Lucknow and lived at Wingfield Park. I am now trying to locate the grave of his daughter Mary Ridley born in Lucknow 1878, who died in Allahabad June 13, 1926. Would you be able to assist with this search?
My Grandma and her daughter are buried in this cemetery Evelyn Robinson and her daughter Marjorie , She was formerly known as Evelyn Dzouza . Would like a photo of her grave if possible . I don’t know when my aunt died
