LIST 33 - BURIALS - ST MATTHEWS WINDSOR

 
 
There were 335 burials performed at St Matthews during this decade. 
There were on average about three burials each month. 
 
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
 reference number
 
The burials are listed in chronological order.
 
The Rev. Robert Cartwright made very complete records of the 
deceased including age at death and ship of arrival or parents 
(although not the maiden name of the mother) and place of death if 
not from the parish.
 
He commenced to record the date of death in September 1811. When Rev 
John Cross took over from Rev Cartwright in January 1820 he no longer 
recorded the names of parents of colonial born children. 
 
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 Matthews Windsor continued from the 
previous decade starting at 008 and run until 342 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 "SMW" from which the 
date of burial would be retrieved, secondly using the appropriate 
date, the burial would then be located on this list.
