Nishatganj Cemetery, Lucknow

                 Sacred
       To the Memory of  
WILLIAM FREDERICK POWNES
     WHO DIED AT LUCKNOW
          10TH APRIL 1883
           AGED 57 YEARS
              6 MONTHS
            AND 29 DAYS
Who would Rose Pownes be to
William. Rose's son Wilfred died
in 1903

My search for the Pownes family on the
net came up with a Liza Mahjhrin of Kuala
Lumpur searching for information on  possible
descendants in Kanpur and Lucknow.

Apparently Rose A Pownes nee Smith born 1869
was married to James Pownes in Lucknow
in 1885. She died in 1948 aged 79.
This information comes from Henry Bourne Church in an email. I've tried to locate Henry's first email to no avail.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF 
         OUR DARLING

MUM  & DAD

DORIS G LYONS 
BORN: 10-3-1930
DIED: 22-3-1982
(IN BILASPUR)
          &
RONALD H LYONS
BORN: 7-4-1920
DIED: 23-4-2005
in Australia, cremated and the  ashes buried in Bilaspur.



  

Ronald, who moved to Australia after his wife Doris' death to be with his sons, Mark and William, had retired form the railway. The two elder sons studied at La Martiniere College, Lucknow and two daughters in a school in Cuttack, Orissa. Bruce, the youngest of the three sons, and one daughter also moved to Australia while one daughter still lives in Bilaspur. William, whose wife was also from a Bilaspur railway family, and I, were class fellows at LMC.
I was surprised to hear that Bilaspur still has a sizable AI community, unlike most of the railway colonies in the central and northern states of the country.

Nainital graveyard 2012 & 2014

2012 visit to Naini Tal

I caught a glimpse of this cemetery, that

Friday 24 Oct 2014: William Oliver Lamacroft

falls within the Nainital Cantonment, while returning from
Bhimtal. The next morning accompanied by a son-in-law, Warren Hopkins and my son (in pic) we
strolled down about three km from our hotel
to take a look. Cemeteries have always attracted
me but finding the graves of my grand uncle
Edward Shepherd and two of his sons came as
a surprise. Warren had visited this graveyard
a few years earlier because he happened to pass this way and remember there were more graves near the entrance that seem to have disappeared

SACRED
TO THE MEMORY OF
WILLIAM OLIVER LAMACROFT
HM 65TH REGT
WHO DIED AT NAINITAL
ON THE 18TH APRIL 1881
AGED 26 YEARS
