LIST 35 - BURIALS - ST LUKES LIVERPOOL
The first burial was performed on the 19th May 1811. During the
remainder of the decade there were 115 burials performed at St Lukes.
The information recorded for each burial is as follows:
burial date
death date
Christian name
family name
age
civil status at time of death
year and ship of arrival
abode
comments
officiating minister
reference number
The burials are listed in chronological order.
The Rev Samuel Marsden performed the first burial. The Rev Rowland
Hassall appeared to be minister until the arrival of Rev John Youl
in May 1816 but the Rev John Eyre also performed the occasional
burial until Rev Youl's arrival. During Rev Hassalls time the parish
clerks; Isaac Nelson and John Reeves appeared to perform the
occasional burial. In October 1819 the Rev Robert Cartwright moved
from St Matthews Windsor to take over the parish.
The information recorded for each burial included date of death after
July 1811, civil status, ship, parents in the case of the colonial
born and cause of death in occasional cases. The officiating
minister has also been recorded (in intitial form for space reasons).
Another pleasing aspect of the records from St Lukes is the high
number of burials where the cause of death is recorded.
For the colonial born their year of birth and parents names are
recorded in the ship of arrival column.
The reference numbers for St Lukes run sequentially from 0001 to 0115
at the end of the decade.
To locate an entry on this list; firstly an alphabetical search on
the name would be made on List 29 using code "SLL" from which the
date of burial would be retrieved, secondly using the appropriate
date, the burial would then be located on this list.
