Perhaps I should incorporate these relatively few photographs in my future (Kolkata) Genealogy post. However, I already have enough photos for two such posts. Moreover, it seems to be more thematic to have a separate post for the memorials in Chennai. I should emphasize that these are memorials, they are not headstones as they are in a church, not a cemetery. However, I have the impression that one, or possibly two, bishops were actually interred there.
I also want to relate my surprise at seeing a few Armenian names there. In Kolkata, I am aware that the Armenians had a large presence here and I have read one or two articles that indicated that they may have pre-dated Job Charnock (the presumed founder of Calcutta). However, perhaps it is not so surprising that the names were there in Chennai. There is a nearby, extremely old Armenian Church.
