G.N. Pannas, the Greek!
 |
| G.N. PANNAS THE GREEK He died in the mid 1950s. His widow shifted into her new flat in 1959 where she lived for a few months till a relative took her to Delhi. Well, that is what I remember grown ups saying, that he was Greek! My memory of him is rather cloudy because I was pretty small when he passed on. Lawrence Terrace was a long old building that at one time was used as a stable for the Nawab's elephants. Later, used as barracks by British soldiers. There was accommodation for 19 families. We, the Shepherds were at No. 13 and the Pannases probably at No. 6. In the 1950s, as I recall, Mr Pannas' death was my first experience, not that I got a look at the body laid out. But, I did see the hearse with the long black box come and go. Other deaths were Mr Cummings whom I later learnt was a retired Vice Principal of La Martiniere College. I think he died at the Carter's place which was No 19. No 20 onwards was the Lucknow Club, formerly, the Residency Club. There was Mrs Welby. Well that is just three and Mrs Bowmer whose grave I recently. posted must have died in between though I do not remember. Around 20 years ago Mrs Welby's great grandson, Dennis W came from Australia. He was born in Australia decades after her death. He found us at LT and we tried finding her grave but failed. Later, her grandson, Geoffrey, who lived as a little chap at LT also visited Lucknow. While I'm photographing graves, I hope I find this and a few others who I remember from thise days! |

Police sergeant Colin Durward Lambert died 1952
 |
| COLIN DURWARD LAMBERT DIED 1952 at Lucknow A police sergeant, Colin, was married to Maureen, nee Laing(?) who remarried later and moved to the UK. Blogger: When I came across this grave yesterday (July 27, 2015), I got the same feeling that comes over me when other familiar names appear, but I couldn't remember anything about Colin! I was two years old when he passed on but recall the name being mentioned at home. Thanks to WhatsApp, I messaged an cousin, Hubert S. in the UK. Since he didn't have the info he phoned another older cousin, Glenna (Nestor) James who, provided some details. She recalls that it was her father, then a policeman himself, who had initially helped Colin join the police. She also said that Colin was a frequent visitor to the Shepherd's residence at No. 13 LT. |

That I have done to the best of my ability. I hope to still find some of the older stones that I might have missed and others that have been buried, reappear, graves or maybe just a headstone that has been covered with earth. I have posted some very recent burials, like the ones in this post for a reason. These two burials were carried out by Mother Teresa' Missionaries of Charity. Prem Niwas, Sapru Marg, Lucknow.) |

Raja Sir Maharaj Singh, (Wiki link) son of
Harnam Singh, was Governor
of Bombay state 1948-1952.
 |
| Sad these grave are falling apart Pic taken April 10, 2017 I don not know whether the Raja provided funds or land for the establishment of a school in his name, but one is being run in his name by the Christ Church College, Lucknow at the Epiphany Church, Lucknow. No where in the world will one find such generosity treated with such disdain! The fact is that the CCC authorities have never asked themselves: Who was Raja Maharaj Singh? Where did he die? Was he a Christian? And, that too in today's world!!! |
Mrs Constance Grace Bowmer died cir 1954
Died circ 1954
(Blogger: Several years ago I came
across this grave, then, on subsequent
visits couldn't find it. Obviously, I had
been looking in the wrong place. I
was familiar with the name because
Mrs Bowmer lived at 17 Lawrence Terrace,
Lucknow and my parents had bought
her dressing table which is still with me.
I checked the FIBIS database for the surname
but only found Boehmer, many Bambers, then
Boomer and Bowmar and some other variants.)

Alexander William Carter 1903-1965
Born April 29th 1903
Died March 10th 1965
It is fortunate that I was able to
contact Ian Carter, settled in Europe from his youth, who provided me with information of his father. Ian writes: He was born at Moradabad April 29th 1903 to Thomas and Helen Carter. Tom Carter, my grandfather was a guard on the railways.
My father, Alec, attended Sherwood College, Naini Tal, then took diplomas in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. His first job was working as an engineer for my maternal grandfather, John Ramble, ran the Standard Electrical Co., located at what later became Faridi Building, near the Mayfair Cinema in Lucknow. He was also a keen gardener and grew, among other things, huge chrysanthemums. He was also a good shot during the duck-shoots on the jheels around Lucknow.
He contracted typhoid three times in his lifetime but otherwise kept excellent health. He was a perfect, though rather reserved, gentleman.
He died peacefully in his sleep at A9 Lawrence Terrace Lucknow.
(Blogger: The Carter family lived at 19 Lawrence Terrace before moving to the blocks of flats in 1959)
