Hi Peter, A small paragraph from Sydney Burial Ground 1819-1901 [Johnson and Sainty] : "More than 30,000 remains were uncovered at the time of resumption of the cemetery. The total number buried between 1819 and 1888 will never be known with certainty. As many as 20,000 are not identified in this compilation. As separate interment registers do not appear to have been maintained, those of the city parishes of the relevant denomination should be consulted to ascertain if they record the deceased that are unidentified. It is likely that any person dying in what is now the inner city and near suburbs, such as Woolloomooloo, Surry Hill, Redfern, Ultimo and Pyrmont, would have been buried in the SBG from 1819 to 1849 for adherents of the Church of England and until the mid 1860's for other denominations. From July 1856 official certificates of registered deaths record place of burial". So, from the above numbers, it appears that at least two thirds of those buried there are not mentioned.
