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.
