Hastings Cemetery Update

New & Rewritten Stories


  • Hopper, Mary Anne - For 63 years faithful nurse and friend in the family  of Rev. W. Darnell


  • Robins, Thomas Edward & Family - A memorial of a family covering 1923 - 2012. On the gravestone it is recorded Elsie was born in Hastings, Calcutta.  It is reported that Thomas retired as Harbour Master, Calcutta [now Kolkata] in 1919 and the family came to Hastings.  As he died in India in 1925, it seems more likely that he came with the family to bring Elsie, maybe to recuperate, as she was only 22 when she died, or perhaps to join family.  (There have been Robins in Hastings for a long time.)  The family lived in Hastings, Calcutta.
