Databases and Indexes

• Christ Church, Geelong Burial Register Book 2 - card index produced by Tony Miller and Daryl Wight [source: Genealogical Society of Victoria]
• Geelong Eastern Cemetery burials - family history information added by Pam Jennings
• The above indexes and data were combined to produce a new index for Christ Church Burial Register Book 2

• NAME: person buried
• DATE: of burial [the Burial Register, Book 2 covers the dates 27 Aug 1863 to 20 Jan 1902]
• COMMENT: where available, includes Date of death, Age, and comments from index cards and family history sources.  Where information differs between the two sources, a comment explains the different Christ Church Burial Register data
• REFERENCE DETAIL: Book and page numbers for the Christ Church burial register

• 3,408 entries

No further information is available from the card index - further details may be available from the Geelong Cemeteries Trust.

In the future it is possible that Book 1 may be added to this database.
