Leah E Maclure 1925-2010

IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR
                MOTHER

LEAH E. MACLURE

BORN 11TH AUGUST 1925
DIED 23RD MARCH 2010

GONE IS THE FACE WE
LOVED SO MUCH

Leah Maclure, a teacher at La Martiniere Girls College, Lucknow survived her husband, Douglas Leslie Maclure by 22 years.

Ronald D'Ravara died about 2011

RONALD D'RAVARA
who belonged to an old Lucknow family worked in Mohan Meakins along with his younger brother, Neville till retirement. He remained unmarried. Ronald had planned for his retirement saving a reasonable sum of money in post office bonds but, it wasn't to be, because the post official had swindled many like Ronald and built a palatial home for herself.
Several years ago when I meet him out walking in the mornings first with his old mother and after her death, alone, he told me the case was in court. I doubt he recovered any of his savings because that's what a court case means, here.
Ronald had a sister Kathleen who died several years ago while one sister, Pamela Raymond, a widow is in bad health at the Dorothy Crosthwaite Homes, Lucknow. Pamela's daughter, Lillian Mishra died a couple of years ago.  There was Danny, another brother who also died years ago, hit by a Jeep.

A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY
                         OF
MY DARLING HUSBAND
LAUGHLIN CHARLES MCMANUS
BORN 14TH AUGUST 1881
DIED 14TH JANUARY 1927
IN THE 46TH YEAR.

Farewell! 'tis mine
Thy virtues to deplore
To linger here and
Feel thy aid no more,
Oh! Still rever'd,
This frail memorial take,
'Tis all, alas! thy sorrowing
 wife can make 
On this poor stone
To mark thy dearest worth
And claim the spot
That hold thy sainted earth.
      ----------------
Farewell! Beloved "Until the day dawns and the shadows flee away".

Chas. A.B. Olliver 1845-1927

IN LOVING MEMORY 
               OF
CHAS. A.B. OLLIVER
              WHO
DIED ON THE 11TH MARCH 1927
       IN HIS 82ND YEAR

HE GIVETH HIS BELOVED SLEEP

Chas's wife, Eliza had passed away
in 1922. The couple lost a daughter,
Norah in 1883 and a son, Little Roy(?)
in 1886

Charles A.B. Olliver and Eliza are the
maternal parents of Keith Edwardes's
mother
Surely Andrew E.S. Olliver who died in 1932 is from the same family!


A letter from Amy Reynolds the granddaughter of Keith Thornleigh Edwardes's and
Annette Edwardes nee Murphy. Amy's mother Alison (Pappy, daughter of Keith and Annette) passed 
on early November 2015 

Thank you for your reply from my comment on your website. I can't tell you how much I appreciated finding your blog with photographs of a personal history for me. I live in Brisbane, Australia and it is my mum's side that is from Lucknow, India. My mum passed late last year quite suddenly so it has been quite a task to find out as much as we can from their past. 

I have not got much information on Alfred T. J. Edwardes as yet, I believe because he died while my mum's father was young there has been a loss of information. I have attached the photograph of his grave that has been in my family, as you can see it has much changed but I thought it might be a nice reference for your website if you'd like to use it. 

The Edwardes name has stopped in my line of family, my mother (Alison Painter nee Edwardes) was the only child of Alfred's son, Keith Thornleigh Edwardes. Keith is buried here in Australia. I believe his sisters were buried in the UK. It is likely that Lenord Verne Edwardes is a possible cousin of his as it would seem that my grandfather's grandfather, James Thornleigh Carter Edwardes (buried in the UK) had many children. I'm still working on my family tree on all the ancestry websites and if I get a confirmation I will share it with you. 

I have found another family connection on your blog. Ruby was my Great-grandmother or my mother's grandmother. She was very loved by her daughter, my grandmother Annette. Annette is buried here in Brisbane, Australia but I know both her and my poppa Keith Edwardes would have preferred to be buried there.

And there are more. Chas was Charles Andrew Billon Olliver and the father to Keith's mother, or his grandfather is another way to put it!  http://guavagardens.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/chas-ab-olliver-1845-1927

All the information you have included on your website has helped me piece together family history and I want to thank you for doing such a good job of it. I believe that my brother is very interested in travelling to India to seek places of family interest, it would be great to know locations of these places for him to find. I do understand that things change and that some might no longer be there, but any start is a great start.
