    1. [AUS-NSW] Burial and religion

    3. Hi I have a death certificate for a Caroline Sullivan, died 1896. It states that the place of burial was the Church of England Cemetery Waverley and the minister was a George P Birch Roman Catholic. I have looked up George P Birch in the Sands Directory and he is listed as Rev G P Birch (R.C) Albert St Wollahra. Can anyone suggest why a person buried in the Church of England section in a cemetery would have a Catholic minister perform the ceremony? Keen to hear your ideas and if anyone else has found this in their family Thankyou. Regards, Dianne Myers
