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..."

Sir this seems to be the graves of Mr. and Mrs. Charles from Windsor place near Mall Avenue, Lucknow. If my guess is right, the the grave of their daughter Mrs.M. Whittaker should be near by.
