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..."

I (George Shepherd, a cousin) vaguely recall having heard this several years ago. A daughter, Mrs Mary Flynn, who had left Lucknow to live with her son Patrick in Bombay died 2012 (?) at the age of 87.

buried in the Bandariabagh Cemetery, Lucknow.
where his son-in-law, Patrick Flynn Jr (who died from
cancer) was interred four years earlier. If I remember
