  • St.Martin's Church of England serviced the military cantonment and railway area of Jhansi.Inside the church are several memorials to the regiments whcih served in Jhansi during the early years before independence. As time progressed most of the congregation immigrated and with the lack of parishoners it became increasingly difficult to maintain the church.Sadly,it is now obscured from view by a large educational institution built upon the parade ground in front of the church.
  • Hello friends .It is so sad that the St Martins church is no longer visible because of the school now in front.It had its own glory in the past.It had the British and the AngloIndian congregation then. This is catastrophic and I wonder why a school had to be constructed to obstruct the beautiful view.
  • I just wanted to see where a relative of mine was baptised Feb 8th 1915, her name Amy Elizabeth Barry, her mother is Amy Beatrice Cole, who married Joseph Barry.
  • Dear Mr Keith Klemasz .You will be happy to know that the old records in the St Martins church at Jhansi do show that AMY ELIZABETH BARRY was in fact baptised in the St Martins Church at Jhansi .The church is located in the cantonment on the Carriappa Road

  • Hello. I am so pleased to have found this site. I have family history in Jhansi and in St. Martin's Church. My grandmother, Ivy Adelaide Ethel Ducann and her siblings were baptised there. The youngest sibling, Mervyn Ducann who died around the age of 3 years old is buried there. I have not been able to find my great grandfather's burial place and wonder if it is in St Martins. His name is Henry DuCann (sometimes known as Harry). Henry was a military bandmaster in the Wilde's 4th Batallion, 13th Regiment of the Wilde's Frontier Force Rifles. He did of heart failure after pneumoni on the 2nd December, 1929 in Jhelum. If anyone can help me locate the location of his grave I would be so grateful. Pam
