By Holmes and Co., printed by W Thacker and Co 1851. | Date transcribed | 2010-08-01 | Transcribed by | Peter Bailey | Comment | South Park Street Burial Ground begins on page 106 of the book and ends on page 176 - listing all inscriptions found in that cemetery as at 1851.
Records transcribed to date are from 1800 onwards. These are not in date sequence and so this Part 2 is the first part of subsequent records. Further records will be transcribed and included in Part 3, etc. until all are completed up to 1851. |
| Surname | Clark | | Forename(s) | William | | Year of Death | 1826 | | Inscription | In Memory of Mr. William Clark, who departed this life 1st of August 1826, aged 58 years, 4 months and 19 days. Think O ye who fondly languish O'er the grave of those you love, While your bosoms throb with anguish They are warbling hymns above; While your silent steps are straying Lonely thro' night's deepening shade, Glory's brightest beams are playing Round the happy Christian's head. ""As for me I will behold thy face in righteousness, I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy likeness. Ps 17, 15."" |
