Nishatganj Cemetery

 The top pic I took some weeks ago because the brickwork

bothered me. It looked like a cubicle for a toilet! 

 I put the pic 

on

 facebook with a comment 

 and, maybe, just maybe, 

a guy who is 

 a facebook friend and 

close to the Catholic priests 

played a hand. 

On

 Saturday 6, 2014 I found 

nothing had been added. To make

room for burials old graves are wiped out by removing the 

stones then fresh graves are dug in between. I have a feeling

the Henry Francis was buried nearby and the stone had been

moved!! I found other gravestones that I'd photographed last

time had been lifted and place some metres from their 

original location bottom snap.

 I'll have to examine the inscription once again because the puzzling part is that the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh only came into being in 1902.
