Sharon, Re your reference to the Windsor Catholic Cemetery opening on October 22 1840 - I have an ancestor Julia Leahy (Experiment 2, 1809), who died in September 26, 1840, and is buried at the cemetery (at least she has a gravestone there!). Would she be a candidate for the first to be buried there? Or was the cemetery operating for some time before the official opening, do you think?

He is no longer the first burial in the cemetery as originally thought. Definitely interested in updates. Thanks Sharon Hoyer

Dear Mary, The official opening of the Catholic Church in Windsor was 1840 but the cemetery may have been in use as early as 1830 but there are no gravestones, John Pendergast was buried in the cemetery in January 1833 with a grave marker. www.hawkesbury.net.au/church/stmatthewscatholic_windsor.html This site will give you more information.
