Hi Jenny, Sometimes stories handed down in families have a grain of truth in them. I found the mention of the Indian Prince's grave intriguing and have just seen the following web page http://www.lookingatbuildings.org.uk/cities/bristol/arnos-vale-cemetery.html which has a picture of the tomb of Raja Rammohun Roy and information about it. Thanks for pointing me in the direction of this interesting feature. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
