Chunar Cemetery

In an old cemetery in Varanasi which is still in use, I found
the grave of Amelia Martha Shepherd (or Martha Amelia) nee Hand,
my great grandmother. She had died cir 1904. Martha's two
spinster daughters, Ethel and Alice, had died in Chunar, Mirzapur district in
1945. Having found Martha's grave I decided to visit Chunar about 45 km from Varanasi in the hope of finding the graves of my grand aunts. This was in
 1985 while I was posted in Varanasi...(not finished)
