Hello Geoffrey, Thank you for your information, sadly I never got a reply from the Baptist Church minister. I am just back from Burma and with the help of the local Catholic priest in Bago, I visited the Anglican Church there which has no BMD registers at all any more (!) and visited the current Anglican Cemetery outside the town of Bago/Pego. The graves from the original graveyard have been moved at least twice apparently and nothing pre 1946 appears to have survived. Still it was interesting to see the town and to imagine what it was like at the turn of the last cemetery.
