All of the burial records for both Old and New St George's Churches from 1777 to December 2025, together with records of inscriptions and names on memorials have been collated into various documents which are on the 'Burials, Inscriptions and Transcripts' page.  Together the names in these records now exceed 8500 in number.  The 'Burials Search' page is intended to assist in locating specific names and related family members.  You can search the data initially using a surname, and if a grave is identified, then you might find other family members by searching 'by grave'.

The search index files provide some information, however we recommend you note down any references given and also look at the source documents on the 'Burials, Inscriptions and Transcripts' page.

The following information is in the search index where recorded in the registers or on gravestones:

• the source document reference(s) and the record number(s), e.g. 'N1-0123' would mean New St George, register no.1, record 123.  You would then find document N1 on the Burials, Inscriptions and Transcripts page and record 123 is what you are interested in.
• the full name of the deceased.  If the forename is unknown or not applicable (e.g. a stillbirth), "--" is shown in its place.  There are also a few records listed on a separate page where the deceased was unidentified, i.e. their surname is unknown.
• date of birth
• dates of passing and of burial
• if the burial was of ashes, this is indicated.
• the grave number (for OSG it is a number, for NSG it is a row and grave reference).
• the age of the deceased.  By default this is expressed in years.  Alternatively one or more of the indicators y, m, w, d, h and/or min may be shown representing years, months, weeks, days, hours and/or minutes.
• if the burial record showed when the grave was 'new', this is indicated.
• there may be a note shown for some records.

Other information that might be shown in the source documents:

• the persons 'abode', i.e. address or part of it
• there may be additional notes

How to search by surname:

Click on the first letter of the person's surname, then click on the required surname.  Glance down the list of people with that surname, which is in alphabetical order of forename.   You can make a note of any details you are interested in.  The 'source' and grave number can be used to look up further information on the 'Burials and Transcripts' page.  A grave number in brackets is still valid but it was not recorded in the burial register.  Note also that it is possible for someone to be on more than one memorial, or to be on memorials but not buried at St. George's.

How to search by grave:

With a grave location in mind, select the appropriate grouping for the location, then click on the required grave reference.  One or more people will be listed as buried at that grave, or on the memorial if there is one.  A person's name in brackets is still valid but either the grave wasn't recorded for that person, or they are on the memorial but not buried.  The list of names for a grave is in date order.
