Ethersay's Book, Ballarat Old Cemetery: Part TWO

Notes

The images of Ethersay's Book are reproduced with the kind permission of Ballarat Cemeteries. These photographs of the Ethersay Book were taken by Dorothy Wickham in 2002. This book was photographed in 2002 for research on The Silent City co-authored with Peter Butters.

This book is held at the Ballarat Cemeteries, and is the earliest available information about burials in Ballarat. It is handwritten presumably by the first Sexton, James Ethersay. The photographs were taken around 2002 and some are not the best quality, but they have survived and are a record so have been preserved here. The index is alphabetical and describes the burials in the pages following.

There are a few early burials such as 1847, 1848, 1851, and these are prior to the official start of the Cemetery in 1856.

There is some annotating and referencing in the register such as some pencilled "known grave" or red biro or ink. It is not known who wrote or annotated this register.

These photographs have been added to the wiki because they contain some names of people associated with Eureka.

Clare Gervasoni and Dr Dorothy Wickham of Ballarat Heritage Services have sourced or taken many photographs relevant to Eureka, and allow their use on www.Eurekapedia.org

Burial and Death Information

Beginning at the first entry on 11 October 1853, in date order throughout the book. As the register was large, the opposite page was filmed separately. Some of these pages do not capture all information available. Numbers of entries at times overlap to make sure that all information was filmed, and all numbers in the register were captured. Sorry for any repetition but it was felt that the information was important and as much as possible captured.

Ethersay's Book

This early register contains a few burials and has been separated here from the entries starting at 1 on 11 October 1853.
