Hi Marina, I was one of the original transcribers from this project. Unfortunately, the site is no longer monitored. However, I do have some of the information which may be of some use. Below is transcribed from the burial registers. The format for most of them are Name, Entry date, Age, Status, Cause of death, Residence, Denomination, Minister, Funeral, Representative.

May his soul rest in peace. Amen. Erected by his affectionate widow, Mary. And his beloved wife MARY died 25th. August 1892 aged 60 years. Also MARY died 6th.

CONNOP died 12 May 1951 aged 82 years. Also his son THOMAS R. CONNOP died 18 Sept. 1966 aged 63 years. Many of the graves are unknown and so this may be what has happened to some of the older burials. Hope this is of some assistance. I notice that you are in New Zealand. If you send me a reminder email after the 2nd of Feb (when the kids go back to school), I could go and take some photos of the graves for you. The cemetery is only about 15 minutes from where I live.
