a son, Warren and daughter,

The choice of words on the graves are coincidentally the same. Derek's grave
was redone with black granite several years after his death and the words were taken
from the internet.
Helen was the eldest daughter of Kenny and Dolly Bell of
 Lucknow. Sheryln and Brenda the younger sisters.

Arthur E Lunn died 1995

ARTHUR E LUNN

DIED SEPTEMBER 14 1995
BURIED ON SEPT 15
AGED 86.
Arthur E Lunn studied at La Martiniere College, Lucknow
and was an old faithful to his alma mater where he visited 
over the years, his last visit  being 1995 to celebrate the
institution's sesquicentennial during
 Founder's Day September 13. He passed on the 
next day.  Arthur Lunn was Principal of Bishop's School,
Pune.  He later opened 'Constantia Hostel' in Dehradoon' .  The
 pic is from a Hostel Facebook page.  Mr Lunn was not 
Cambrian Hall principal as I had written earlier but served 
on the institution's board for many years.   An old Martinian 
and vice principal of the College for many years, 
Mr Frank D'Souza, also passed away shortly after the 1995 
anniversary. After retirement Mr D'Souza continued to live on 
the campus, first in a residence he was permitted to 
construct near the college infirmary, and later when infirmity 
had set in towards his last few months, stayed in the 
principal's residence. Mr D'Souza was buried in the 
Bandaryabagh Cemetery where the remains of 
Mr Victor Raynor and former
principal, Lt Col HRH Daniel are interred.
The grave lay neglected these past 19 years till a request for a pic
 of the grave from Klyne Aitkins (in Australia) who had been a
teacher under Mr Lunn at Bishop's. Warren Anderson took the pic after
having the grave cleaned as well as possible. Klyne and Warren
also happen to be old Martinians .

What type of Christians control this cemetery?

TINY BRICK CUBICLES: Are these toilets being built?

Meera Barrow died about 1990

MEERA BARROW

Meera was the mother of a daughter, Shagun.

DIED CIRCA 1990 WAS A TEACHER AT
ST AGNES' DAY SCHOOL, STATION RD.,
LUCKNOW.

(This is near the north wall at the end of the path directly opposite the entrance. It was sickening to see someone had had a crap, visible in the pic, between the graves. On this visit I'd noticed the boundary wall with a few bricks missing to make it easier for the crapper to climb over.)

          DIED AUGUST 15TH 1901

  "HE GIVETH HIS BELOVED SLEEP"

One cannot help wondering about the people long buried in these crumbling, neglected graves. When the same name appears oe wonders whether they were related. Today the internet is a great help with most historical records available at the touch of a button. So, after posting pics on my blog I usually check the net for any information. Yesterday (July 26, 2014) it was a beautiful feeling to first come across info on an auction of WWI medals of a Lt. Col HGN White. The nine medals expected to sell for anything between 500-600 pounds sold for 1,100 pounds. In 1914 one can presume that Henry George Norman White while in the Oudh and Rohilkhand Railways, volunteer when WWI broke out. One of the medals was for service in the Oudh and Rohilkhand Volr Rifles. Then I clicked on the Hampshire Genealogical Society website and found that it had researched Eva Mary Curtis and HG Norman White and the story appears under the headline: Portsmouth Couple married in India. The medals were auctioned in March 2012. I wonder whether the research was linked to the auction of the medals! It doesn't matter at least we know something about the Eva and Henry who were married so briefly!!

(Lawrence Terrace, Lucknow had a couple Jem and Nellie Monks. Jem, who
 retired from  the railway, must  have passed on in the 1970's and
Nellie (Lumsden) in  the 1980's. Cannot say whether there was a connection
 to John Henry Monks. Old man Lumsden, a retired civil engineer, also died at LT)
