It's amazing really that this grave still exists, being so close to the beach and the high water mark. But I guess the Mercury's journalistic research budget and dead-lines don't match up.

Hello Maree St David Park was one of the earliest grave sites in Hobart Town. Governor Collins was buried there in 1810. Several of my early ancestors were buried there as well.

Hi Everyone, My g.g.g.grandfather Dr.Edward LUTTRELL was buried at St David's, but I have no idea where his memorial is located now. Regards, Val Date

A mystery many share Val. My gt gt gt grandfather was also buried (1869) there with his first wife (Hannah Field) I have followed a number of leads to no avail. The funny thing is there is a transcript of their headstone which makes me think it may still exist Murray Reid NZ -----Original Message----- From: Val Date <val.date@sctelco.net.au> Sent: Friday, 19 April 2019 3:29 PM To: aus-tasmania@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUS-Tas] Re: Where are some of Hobart's earliest gravesites and who is buried there?

Murray and Val, I am pretty sure this has been mentioned in previous posts to the list. This is what St David's cathedral has to say as to when and where "any LEGIBLE" headstones were moved. And the book that was written with inscriptions recorded by Richard Lord in 1876. http://saintdavids.org.au/past-present/documents-held-by-st-davids/ Cheers, Wynnette. -----Original Message----- From: Murray Reid [mailto:mhhr@xtra.co.nz] Sent: Friday, 19 April 2019 1:53 PM To: aus-tasmania@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUS-Tas] Re: Where are some of Hobart's earliest gravesites and who is buried there?

Fascinating and sad reading Maree. Thankyou for sharing. Cheers Lyn munity

Thank you for sharing this, Maree. It is so good to have this photo and information. I believe my forebear Harty HENRY (c.1800- Aug. 1867) is buried at the Campbell Street site. It certainly was a location he knew well in his convict days!. He arrived Medina 1825, convict number 621; while still T.O.L. married into a much more respectable family, 1831; eventually F.S. Other family members were buried at Cornelian Bay, once opened.

Wynette mentions the book written by Richard Lord "Inscriptions in Stone: St David's Burial Ground 1804 - 1872" which was published in _1976._ It lists the headstones with inscriptions still legible in 1976.  In 1926 the legible headstones were recorded and the list is now in TAHO/Libraries Tasmania and these are also listed in this book. In 2005 the remaining stones were photographed and are listed here https://thegardensfamily.com/cemeteries/Hobart/StDavids/index.htm Robyn, apparently Lieutenant Barrett is noted in Wilfred Hudspeth's  "The story of St. DAvid's" published 1949 - available for loan! through Libraries Tasmania. Murray nothing listed in Lord's book for Barratt.  :-( Val nothing listed for Luttrell, but the website link does mention the name at the end of the list. The list owner maybe able to help with the whereabouts?
