Reddall performed one burial in 1828 and the Rev Robert Cartwright performed

family name and Christian name of the deceased, age, place of abode, civil
status, quality or profession (occasionally) and the officiating minister.
The year and ship of arrival have been heavily researched outside the parish
register.

original source document. The reference numbers for St Pauls run sequentially
from 0001 to 0019 at the end of the decade.
