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..."

William Frederick Pownes died 1883
Nishatganj Cemetery, Lucknow |
To the Memory of
WILLIAM FREDERICK POWNES
WHO DIED AT LUCKNOW
10TH APRIL 1883
AGED 57 YEARS
6 MONTHS
AND 29 DAYS
Who would Rose Pownes be to
William. Rose's son Wilfred died
in 1903
My search for the Pownes family on the
net came up with a Liza Mahjhrin of Kuala
Lumpur searching for information on possible
descendants in Kanpur and Lucknow.
Apparently Rose A Pownes nee Smith born 1869
was married to James Pownes in Lucknow
in 1885. She died in 1948 aged 79.
This information comes from Henry Bourne Church in an email. I've tried to locate Henry's first email to no avail.
