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.
