Parish Records - Church Of England New South Wales/Canberra

[mcfrankel]

I am hoping somebody could let me know who would hold the parish records for -CHURCH OF ENGLAND BURIALS IN THE PARISH OF CANBURY IN THE COUNTY OF MURRAY NSW IN THE YEAR 1852 or even the Presbyterian Church Parish Registers for the Canberra area 1852.  My ancestor Ewen Cameron passed away in 1852 and no records I have found indicate who his parents were so I am hoping maybe they were written in the parish registers.  I recently access scans of the parish records for the Newcastle area so hoping that scans of these records are available somewhere.

He is on Find a Grave as Ewen Cameron, died 9 November 1852.  Buried at St. John the Baptist Cemetery, Reid, Canberra.  There is a memorial stone to see.

Hopefully link will show his death registration:-

I've just rechecked the nsw link and you will need to click on the Deaths search button, then enter his name in the relevant boxes.  Make sure that you enter his first name as Ewen.  Dates I entered were 1850 to 1855.

Thank you for the reply . I have a lot of information on Ewen Cameron except his parents names.  I have obtained a transcript of his death and was hoping to track down some of the original parish registers from the area. I am hoping there might be information that wasn’t recorded onto the bdm registers.

Civil registration did not start in NSW until 1856 so all events indexed by the NSW registry before then are from the church records of baptisms, marriages and burials. If you already have the record then you should notice that it is a record of burial from the church register, not a death certificate.

Okay - well I have found a baptism for a Ewn Cameron on 19 February 1786 at Boleskine, Inverness, Scotland.

Parents are Duncan Cameron and Margaret McIntosh.

For some reason I can't find this baptism on Scotland's People.  I have found this baptism as a transcription on Find My Past.

There are a lot of Ewen Camerons.  I have been searching through many records but unable to make a clear connection for his parents.  One lady has even travelled to Scotland to search with no real results.  I also recently found out that the church in Scotland where Ewen was from got washed away in a flood and so did a lot of the records for that area in that era.  I would like to look at the Parish Registers in Australia as I know that sometimes there is extra information not always recorded when they were transcribed and sometimes could be a small note etc written at the bottom.  I recently obtained a scanned of the parish Register for a Marriage and was able to obtain more information than the BDM record had on it.  Anyway just wishful thinking.

From memory it was a $30 fee for search even though i had exact place and date.
