LIST 71 - BURIALS - ST PETERS EAST MAITLAND

 
 
The first burial was performed at St Peters on the 27th April 1830. There 
were only another seven burials performed during the remainder of the decade.
 
The information recorded for each burial is as follows:
 burial date
 Christian name
 family name
 age
 abode
 civil status at time of death
 year and ship of arrival
 comments
 reference number
 
The burials are listed in chronological order.
 
The Rev Frederick Wilkinson was the first chaplain appointed to the parish 
and it is assumed he performed all the burials.
 
In the original register the standard information recorded was; burial date, 
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.
 
For the colonial born their year of birth and parents names are recorded in 
the ship of arrival column.
 
Sadly three of the burials relate to criminals who were executed.
 
The reference number would direct the reader to the relevant entry in the 
original source document. The reference numbers for St Peters run sequentially 
from 0001 to 0008 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 "SPEM" from which the date of burial would 
be retrieved, secondly using the appropriate date, the burial would then 
be located on this list.
