About this site
This website is designed to provide an internet-accessible guide to graveyards in Chennai (formally known as Madras), India.
The idea came from my own family history enquiries and as a regular visitor to Chennai having discovered these gravestones I thought it would be a useful tool for people like myself who want to discover more about their ancestors but who are unable to go to Chennai.
The five sections that are the beginnings of something larger are:
- St Mary’s Anglican Church, Fort St George, Chennai
- St Mary’s Cemetery, Pallavan Salai, Chennai
- St Mary’s Cemetery: Commonwealth WW1 Graveyard, Pallavan Salai, Chennai
- St Mary’s Cemetery: Commonwealth WW2 Graveyard, Pallavan Salai, Chennai
- Madras War Cemetery
- Madras (St. Patrick’s) Cemetery, Chennai
