LIST 58 - BURIALS - CHRIST CHURCH CASTLEREAGH

 
 
There were 105 burials performed at Christ Church during this decade. There 
was on average about one burial each month. 
 
The information recorded for each burial is as follows:
 burial date
 death date
 Christian name
 family name
 age
 abode
 civil status at time of death
 year and ship of arrival
 comments
  reference number
 
Various miscellaneous remarks in the register have been recorded as 'end-notes' 
at the bottom of the list.
 
The burials are listed in chronological order.
 
The Rev Henry Fulton continued his chaplaincy throughout the decade as he 
did indeed for the next decade as well.
 
Unfortunately the microfiche for the pre-1826 records only covers the period 
5th August 1823 until the 28th July 1825. The Age and Civil Status of the 
deceased is recorded, Free or Prisoner as well as Ship of Arrival for 
prisoners, plus the occasional comment as to Cause of Death. Whilst this 
is one of the few registers to record the date of death unfortunately the 
page is unreadable for almost half the entries so even this information is 
missing. The minister is not recorded but is assumed to be the Rev Fulton. Most 
of the basic details prior to 1823 on this list come from the Kerrison James 
Index. Most of the 'Ship of Arrival' and 'Civil Status' information has been 
researched outside the parish register.
 
With the arrival of the new printed register forms in 1826 the information 
was more complete, including the fact that Rev Fulton conducted all the burials, 
although the Date of Death and Ship of Arrival was no longer recorded. The year 
and ship of arrival have been heavily researched outside the parish register.
 
For the colonial born their year of birth and parents names are recorded in 
the ship of arrival column.
 
The reference number would direct the reader to the relevant entry in the 
original source document. The numbering system was re-initialized in 1826 with 
the introduction of the new printed registers. 
 
The reference numbers for Christ Church continued from the previous decade 
and run sequentially from 0030 to 0072 then restart in 1826 with B001 until 
B064 at the end of the decade. The numbers B020 & B021 were omitted.
 
To locate an entry on this list; firstly an alphabetical search on the name 
would be made on List 52 using code "CCC" from which the date of burial would 
be retrieved, secondly using the appropriate date, the burial would then 
be located on this list.
