In an old cemetery in Varanasi which is still in use, I found
the grave of Amelia Martha Shepherd (or Martha Amelia) nee Hand,
my great grandmother. She had died cir 1904. Martha's two
spinster daughters, Ethel and Alice, had died in Chunar, Mirzapur district in
1945. Having found Martha's grave I decided to visit Chunar about 45 km from Varanasi in the hope of finding the graves of my grand aunts. This was in
 1985 while I was posted in Varanasi...(not finished)

Enid Sheila (Saucy) McAuliffe died 1955

In ever long and treasured Memory
of
My beloved wife
ENID SHEILA (SAUCY) MCAULIFFE
Who departed this life
on the 16th November 1955
Aged 31 years
*
Death divides but memory lingers
Erected by her devoted husband

*
Enid Sheila McAuliffe nee Tuck was a teacher
at La Martiniere College and the sister
of Mr Edgar Tuck, now a retired teacher
and later Principal, Cambrian Hall, Dehradun
 settled in Australia. The information
came as a comment to this post by Glenda
Booth and confirmed by Mr Tuck's nephew,
Robert Jordan. 
Enid was married to Maxy McAulliffe. 
According to Robert, Mr Tuck filled
the vacancy created at the College by 
his sister's death.
**
From La Martiniere "Constantia" of 1955 (or 1956)

The Late Mrs Enid Sheila McAuliffe, better known as Saucy, was appointed teacher of Standard IV in August 1953. Though such a short time on the Staff of the College,
she had fully proved her worth. She was not only a hard-working and efficient teacher, but was a great help and a good 'sport' at all times. Not a school function
goes by without a deep regret that she is no longer in our midst.
Her sudden and untimely passing away on the 17th November 1955 cast a gloom over the entire College. I feel sure that all members of the Staff cherish happy memories of one who was always so bright and cheerful.
