LIST 56 - BURIALS - ST LUKES LIVERPOOL

 
 
There were 378 burials performed at St Lukes during this decade. There were 
on average around three burials 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 Robert Cartwright continued as the resident minister for the whole of 
this decade. 
 
There was no recorded clergyman in the burial register until July 1823 although 
it can be assumed to have been the Rev Cartwright. Thereafter he was recorded 
as performing all burials until the end of the decade, with the exception 
of two Roman Catholic burials in 1823 and 1830.
 
Until July 1823 the only additional information recorded in the burial register 
apart from name, date and place of death and age was the cause of death, as 
interesting as this information is! From July 1823 until the end of 1825 
Rev Cartwright started recording status (free or prisoner) at time of death 
and ship of arrival for many entries. Then from January 1824 until the end of 
1825 he started recording the date of death as well.
 
With the arrival of the new pre-printed registers in 1826 he stopped recording 
the dates of death, ship of arrival and the causes of death but did include 
the occupation of the deceased. 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 burial of William Gray in April 1824 is recorded for St Lukes in the Kerrison 
James Index but does not appear in the parish register of burials.
 
The burial of Eliza Hatfield in April 1823 is a duplicate of the entry in Christ 
Church Newcastle.
 
The reference number would direct the reader to the relevant entry in the 
original source document. The numbering system was re-initialized in June 
1821 and again in 1826 with the introduction of the new printed registers. 
 
The reference numbers for St Lukes continued from the previous decade and 
run sequentially from 0116 to 0124, then from B001 to B152 and finally from 
C001 to C09 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 52 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.
