Cemeteries in Bridgewater South Australia 1870's - Ann Garland
« on: Sunday 18 March 18 09:29 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to locate where a family member (Anne Garland) may have been buried.  She died in Bridgewater (Adelaide Hills) South Australia in 1871, so I'm assuming she would have been buried around the area, her husband stayed on in Bridgewater for a number of years after her death.  All searches of surrounding cemeteries have not come up with anything.

There was a methodist cemetery in Bridgewater (now cleared) but not a huge amount of information is available on line, no burial records, why is was cleared or dates it was in use.

There also appears to be a Bible Christian Church which was in use around this time - different location to the Methodist cemetery. But once again cannot find any information online if there was a cemetery attached to the church.

I plan to go to the historical society to see if they have any information, but though I would try my luck on here as well.

Mel

Yes that's her.  I think Mt Lofty Historical society is going to be my best bet.  I have since discovered some old pamphlets/church minutes stored at the state library that may help - it's just trying to get in there...... and that there was a cemetery attached to the Bible Christian Church as well, so that makes 2 cemeteries that have been cleared in the local township.  I'm curious as to why this would occur, space certainly wasn't an issue and I would have thought that clearing a cemetery no matter how old wouldn't be looked upon as overly favourable by the community....

Given you mention the state library, I presume you are aware of the Stirling District Methodist Circuit records. Re Bridgewater, there doesn't look like much from the 19th century is still available, and certainly no burial records.

Hi, Ann Garland née Price was my 2nd great grand mother. I have no record of where she was buried but her husband Isaac was buried in the Wellington East Cemetery. Not sure if this helps at all.
