Ask Lucknow Any idea where I can get tools and knives sharpened?

1 Upvotes

I have some old classic scissors, tools and premium knives which have become pretty dull. So I was wondering if there’s some service in Lucknow where I can get them sharpened again. They don’t need full restoration but just sharpening.

Culture/History Help locating historical settlement records of Pargana Bijaigarh, Mirzapur (1843–1847)

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am researching my family history and trying to trace an ancestor who left India in 1853. According to the historical records, he was an 18-year-old man, Pargana Beejoygarh/Bijaigarh, District Mirzapur.

I am looking for historical village records from the 1840s that could help identify the village and the families who lived there.

I have found references to the following archival materials:

- Settlement Series, Volume 248 (1843–1847), including William Roberts’ reports dated 6 January 1847 and 31 July 1847 concerning Pargana Bejai-garh/Bijaigarh.

- A Collection of Papers regarding the Settlement of South Mirzapur.

- Village wajib-ul-arz, rubkar, settlement reports, and records of rights.

I am particularly interested in records relating to villages such as Sasnai, Markundi, Lauwa, Makarbari, Cherui, Baghma, Biranchuwa and Pokhraundh.

Could anyone help me with the following?

  1. Which archive currently holds these original settlement records — the Regional Archives in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh State Archives in Lucknow, the National Archives of India in Delhi, or another repository?
  2. Is there an online catalogue or a precise archival reference I could use to request copies?
  3. Do these records contain village inhabitants’ names, landholders, family names, or caste/community details?
  4. Has anyone researched the old villages of Pargana Bijaigarh?

Even a catalogue reference, photograph of a relevant page, or advice from someone familiar with these archives would be extremely helpful.

I do not luve in India, so any guidance on accessing the records remotely would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

So, I'm from Kanpur, 2 years back i got a medical college in Lucknow. Since then, everything changed for me.

In kanpur, i went through all sorts of stuff, depression, SA, Bullying, loneliness.

When i was moving into the city, I said "Lucknow, Please treat me right." And it did.

(Even tho one time i got SAed in Lucknow too but this time i had people to talk with, I had shoulders to cry on, and a support system)

Lucknow is such a beautiful city, the food is great, people are great, now whenever I'm home (like right now), I miss Lucknow. I've so many friends, I've a beautiful relationship, I'm finally happy, and i am so grateful to be in this city ❤️

So y'all Lucknow people, Thank you for this one amazing city, I'll be here for some more years and i don't know how I'll ever be able to leave this city.
