Cemetery record

St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Cemetery, Biddulph, Middlesex County, Ontario

6 parish ledger-book scans and 34 transcribed headstone names in St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Cemetery

6 photographs. Scanned parish interment ledger pages and a contributor's transcription of specific headstones — two separate sources for the same cemetery, not matched to each other.

A partial list of death records on graves in St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Cemetery, Biddulph Township, Middlesex County, Ontario, gathered many years ago by the contributor (a Hogan, Kennedy, Jackson descendant) while doing her own family research. Includes the Donnelly family that was murdered February 4th 1880 (the famous Donnelly Massacre).

The gallery below is a separate source: scanned pages from the parish's own interment ledger book, Church of St. Patrick, starting in 1854 — a much larger register than the contributor's list, covering burials across many families. Some surnames in the ledger: Ryan, Poe, Kelly, Shea, Hogan, Thompson, Regan, Donnelly, Kennedy.
