BURIALS - CATHOLIC OTHER PARISHES

 
 
This list records ten Catholic churches and parishes all of which 
were established during the decade 1831 to 1840 and all of which recorded 
less than fifty burials in their registers. Even when combined these 
churches and parishes only totalled 140 burials. Unfortunately, apart 
from the three parishes; Norfolk Island, Wollongong and All Saints Liverpool 
the remaining seven parish registers have not been located.
 
The churches and parishes listed are as follows, arranged by date of 
establishment:
 
 22 Sep 1834:Parish of Norfolk Island {NKIR}
 11 Dec 1838:Parish of Illawarra; Wollongong {ILLA} 
 30 Mar 1839:All Saints Liverpool {ASL}
 
 1834:Parish of Araluen; Braidwood {ARAL} 
 1835:Parish of Albury (Co. Goulburn) {ALBU}  
 1837:St Patricks Sydney {SPSR} 
 1837:Parish of Newcastle; Raymond Terrace {N-RT}  
 1840:St Michaels: Bathurst; Kelso (Co. Bathurst) {SMB} 
 1840:St Francis: Melbourne; Port Phillip District {MELB}  
 :St Johns Campbelltown {SJCR} 
 
The information recorded for each burial is as follows:
 burial date 
 death date (St Johns Campbelltown only)
 Christian name
  family name
 age
 abode
 civil status at time of death
 year and ship of arrival
 quality or profession
 officiating minister
 reference number
 
The burials within each church and parish are listed in chronological 
order.
 
From the start of the new decade each burial record included; reference 
number, date of burial, Christian name of the deceased, family name of 
the deceased, age, abode, year and ship of arrival, quality or profession 
and officiating minister. In 1839 the 'Ship of Arrival' column was removed 
from the official forms to be replaced by a 'Date of Death' column but 
these new forms do not appear to have been used by the two churches 
transcribed in this list, as a consequence there are no dates of death 
recorded.
 
For the colonial born their year of birth and parents names are recorded 
in the 'Ship of Arrival' column.
 
For the seven parishes which have not been transcribed the only information 
recorded in the State Archive Pioneer Series records was; reference number, 
year of burial, Christian name of the deceased, family name of the deceased 
and age. All other information appearing in these parishes is the result of 
personal research.
 
The Norfolk Island register consists of just seven burials all performed 
on the one day for prisoners executed for mutiny.
 
Not all entries had an age at death recorded and as a consequence, 
unlike most other parishes there were very few (only ten) infants who did 
not live past their fifth birthday.
 
The reference number would direct the reader to the relevant entry 
in the original source document. For the seven parishes which have not 
been transcribed the State Archives reference numbers have been retained.
 
To locate an entry on this list; firstly an alphabetical search on the 
name would be made on List 5 using the parish code listed in the table 
above from which the date of burial would be retrieved, secondly using 
the appropriate date, the burial would then be located on this list.
