===Washermanpettah Cemetery===
(Washermanpettah is an area of northern [[Madras]])
This is a huge and very disorganised cemetery. Although the burial records of my ancestors showed that some had been buried at Washermanpettah Cemetery in the nineteenth century, I was unable to find any graves earlier than the 1940's. It is possible that there may be more than one cemetery, although the locals assured me that there wasn't, or alternatively I may just have not gone to the right spot within the cemetery.
====ph.57 2009====
This is a large and ill-kept cemetery. Unfortunately, many of the monuments have had their slate tablets removed, probably to use as building materials. To get to this cemetery, take a taxi or auto-rickshaw along [[Poonamallee ]] High Road. It is about 30 minutes by road from [[Madras ]] to [[Poonamallee]].
