LIST 31 - BURIALS - ST JOHNS PARRAMATTA
There were 401 burials performed at St Johns during this decade.
There were on average about three burials every month.
The information recorded for each burial is as follows:
burial date
Christian name
family name
age
civil status at time of death
year and ship of arrival
comments
reference number
The burials are listed in chronological order.
After 1814 the description "free" was frequently recorded but it is
not clear if this refers to "arrived free" or "free by servitude"
or "born free".
It should be noted that quite of lot of the entries are annotated with
"not on indent". This is because the informants may not have known
with certainty the ship of arrival, which may have been decades
earlier. In the case of women it maybe because she was buried under
her married name or her maiden name which may have differed from
that recorded on the convict shipping indents.
Information in the register not recorded here is the name of the
officiating minister.
For the colonial born their year of birth and parents names are
recorded in the ship of arrival column.
The reference numbers for St Johns Parramatta continued from the
previous decade starting at 864 and run until 1264 at the end of the
decade. For some reason occasionally the sequence of the numbers
is out of chronological order.
To locate an entry on this list; firstly an alphabetical search on
the name would be made on List 29 using the code "SJP" from which
the date of burial would be retrieved, secondly using the appropriate
date, the death would then be located on this list.
