How to Use the Records

Burial regsistrations are generally in chronological order (except for subsequent burials), however the order for the register from 1900 (page 35) onwards appears to be earliest date at the bottom of the page. A second numbering system was commenced at grave number 90 (page 19) with two numbering systems recorded until page 53 where the single numbering pattern continues. Pages 63-65 records grave numbers A1-A13. Due to the fragile condition of the register, some dates are no longer visible.
