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)

Hi, Are you related To Hubert or Eva Bolst? My late mother was Noreen Gertrude Bolst and her family lived in Lucknow and surrounding area for a few hundred years. I am just looking in to my family history. Kind regards, Mark Grimwade
